Anytime
Genre: Rock
4.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Living Without Your Love
Keeping Our Love Alive

Rising Star
Requisite 80s Cover: A rollicking but wholly unmemorable cover of “Brown Eyed Girl”. I prefer Everclear’s version.
Welp, if you know me you know that I love that big 80s Loverboy excess kind of sound. And you also know, if you’ve been here for a while, that I liked Henry Paul’s previous record more than most.
The opening synthtastic “Living Without Your Love” is everything 80s. You can almost smell the Michael J. Fox fish out of water comedy playing this over the credits.
From there we get Red Rocker sounding “Hollywood Paradise” and I gotta wonder; does this guy get play on Deep Cuts stations on Sirius, etc? I’ve never heard him on any Rock and Roll BBQ playlists.
Paul’s Southern Rock DNA bleeds into a lot of these tunes but they are all the better for that. “766-2623” was the phone number track that was never gonna be a hit but it’s the kind of boogie rock that I need right now.
