This is Paul Metsa.
On my show this morning, I played a tune I had never heard before. Another Man's Chains from Paul Metsa. I introduced it not knowing what to expect, but as it turns out, it is SO GOOD!
So now, as I'm waiting to voice a Ska Fest promo, I'm doing my research on Mr. Metsa. Well, I say research, but in reality, that just means I listen to his songs online and develop my own opinion of him. (I'd be a terrible scientist)
But, what a guy!
His voice! Raw. Sexy. The sound of a smokey, bluesy, folk singer. Paul has a way with words too. While writing primarily with guitar, he says the trick is to match his poetry and prose to the proper melody, chord changes and satisfying rhythms; a trick he's certainly mastered.

How do I describe his music? With labels comes limitations, and he's much, much more than one genre. Folk, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz and rock and roll. Just have a listen!
The first tune I heard was enough to spark my interest in Mr. Metsa. The second song, Black Cadillac, sealed the deal! Turn on your speakers, plug in your headphones, you can listen to it for free on his website! The electric solo, mmmm.
Enjoy your research! ;)
