This is another case of discovering a band thanks to file sharing. Yeah, it’s not supporting the band that way but it makes me want to get their other releases. That’s the way I see it. The Paperboys are from Vancouver, Canada and have a Celtic/folk/bluegrass sound. The first disc is entitled “Night Driving” and it’s got 10 tracks of alternative country/ bluegrass that’s pretty good. I don’t normally like country music but I like this band. Their sound has kind of changed from the one album I heard “Molinos,” but it sounds like their music is maturing. I believe this is the Paperboys’ 5th album. The Night Driving title is kind of fitting because this is something I would want to listen to at night driving my car. It’s not loud and it’s just soothing music. Disc 2 is entitled “Saturday Afternoon” and it’s more of the sound that got me into the Paperboys. It’s more upbeat and catchy songs on Disc 2. Some songs are a little bit on the religious side but that’s all right. I listen to reggae music and it’s nothing but that so. I think with every listen, I like “Dilapidated Beauty” more and more. If you’re curious, check this out.

Bottom Line: If folk rock is your thing, yeah.
