Paul Stephenson – Mother Nature’s Rules (2018/2019) [FLAC 24bit/88,2kHz]

Written by Paul Stephenson and arranged by Paul Gunter, these songs bring to mind a time when Simon & Garfunkel songs received regular air-play on the radio. Lyrics remind us to appreciate the life we’ve been given be grateful for people in our lives. “You might think that, having written the songs and made demos of the, rehearsed them and laid down the basic tracks, this album would be familiar territory for me. But, thanks to Gunter Pauler’s arrangements, it’s something of a magical mystery tour for me – and, I hope, for you too. Gunter always finds a new unexpected angle that I’d never have thought of.

“I’m feeling very lucky to be able to bring you this latest album in the company of such a troupe of fine musicians, produced with his usual finesse by Grammy nominee, Gunter Pauler. Thanks to them all, from the bottom of my heart.” (Paul Stephenson)

“(Paul is) not only a very delicate and refined guitar stylist but also a genuine poet. (There is a) perfect harmony between the music and the lyrics.” (Jean-Marie Pouchain)

“Intricate, finely crafted and sensitive to life’s mutability, the songs are performed with understated passion and tenderness.” (Keith Stimpson)
