about

The record includes a life-affirming collaboration with Irish musical legend, Liam Ó Maonlaí of the Hothouse Flowers. Paddy recorded “Rock N Roll” with support of Liam.
_________________________________

"This is another great slice of finely crafted songwriter pop from Boston, by way of Ireland. Paddy Saul has assembled a great cross-section of Boston music royalty to flesh out these tunes, including Jimmy Ryan, Peter Parcek, and Damon Leibert, and even a special cameo from Hothouse Flowers’ very own Liam Ó Maonlaí. There’s even a horn section and a string section! The songs are so tightly arranged. Some are fist-pumping anthems, while others are introspective meditations on love and life. Fans of Michael Scott, Karl Wallinger, Francis Dunnery, Leonard Cohen, and Bruce Cockburn will find this album a delightful bit of alright, expertly engineered by Rafi Sofer and mixed by the very tall Ducky Carlisle. Songwriters of this pedigree are few and far between. Paddy Saul is the standard by which other local songwriters should be judged. This is how it’s done, kids.

- Joel Simches, The Noise

The Way the Blood Flows is a heart-warming and uplifting album which echoes his Irish roots as well as his experiences in Boston…The highlight of the album is the track Rock N Roll which features the legendary Liam Ó Maonlaí of the Hothouse Flowers providing a flourish to an already excellent collection of songs.

- Anthony McBride, The Irish Emigrant
