| It's been said The Paperboys' music is hard to describe.Call it 'Guinness with a tequila chaser while listening to an Americana Jukebox'."Yes, we cover a lot of musical territory and have a lot of influences.There is a lot I can tell you about the music.But what it isn't is something that you can easily put into a little box and say "oh, this is Celtic" or "this is folk."We are much more than that."Meanwhile, critics from Billboard to the Washington Post don't have any trouble describing the Paperboys sound."If you don't believe a jig can shred, listen to The Paperboys."And then there's the hardware.Traditional Album of the Year (Molinos); and Juno Award nominations for the three of their albums; two West Coast Music Awards for Best Roots Recording (Molinos, Postcards) and three more nominations in that category.Birthday Compilation to honour Bob Dylan.The latest release 'The Road To Ellenside' (2006) was wholly recorded at a country manor in rural England.But what really sets The Paperboys apart is their live show.And for that, the only opinion that matters are the fans who routinely sell out some of the most popular and prestigious clubs throughout Canada, the U.The Paperboys burn up stages at countless festivals including New York's Falconridge Festival, The Folk Alliance Festival, The Boston Folk Festival, San Francisco's Guinness Oyster Festival and Seattle's Bumbershoot.They've headlined at the UK's Warwick and Trowbridge festivals, and Denmark's Tonder and Skagen festivals.The band averages well over 150 shows a year.Despite the accolades and sell out crowds, the Paperboys still remain philosophical about it all."We're not building rockets or running for office.And I think, man, am I'm lucky.The Paperboys' energy and enthusiasm are always a delight, and if I had to pick a band to follow around on tour, I couldn't think of a better candidate."The most exuberant record I've heard in ages...The double CD Dilapidated Beauty sees the band moving more towards an Americana sound incorporating soul music and country.There is so much good on Dilapidated Beauty.Paperboys deserve for such a brazen but thoroughly intriguing release.This CD is just plain Kick Ass.The Paperboys hale from Canada but will surely be seen throughout the USA .Dilapidated Beauty is a dynamic combination of songs.The Paperboys vocal and the album production are splendid.Radio should queue this one up and spin it till it melts.Vancouver 's Paperboys have come a long way from their first Seattle support slot seven years ago.The personnel has changed, allowing songwriter and frontman Tom Landa the chance to explore a lot more ground, whether it's the Latin roots he exposed on Postcards or the Western snapshots that make up the band's ambitious new double CD, Dilapidated Beauty (Stony Plain).Disc two, "Saturday Afternoon," catches its breath, clinging to visions of home on songs like "It Takes So Long" and the achingly gorgeous "What Would I Miss," before returning to the road at the end with "Windshield Cracks."The Paperboys definitely deliver.The Paperboys have been around for the last ten years or so, and this Vancouver based band started out as a Celtic Pop outfit, evolving to embrace Latin and Americana and Soul, collecting a Juno award on the way.The use of whistle and fiddle sometimes conjures up the spirit of The Bothy Band (no greater praise can I offer), and the Canadian sensibility, added to the Celtic sound, and the wistful vocals of lead singer Tom Landa, are a heady mix indeed.The Paperboys "Dilapidated Beauty" (True North)
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.Their sound has kind of changed from the one album I heard "Molinos," but it sounds like their music is maturing.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.If folk rock is your thing, yeah.Tom Landa, still recognizably Paperboys), Dilapidated Beauty is fast becoming one of my favourite driving albums.THE PAPERBOYS: DILAPIDATED BEAUTY

for home.The Road To Ellenside, recorded in the heart of Englands Lake District, is their fifth album (if you include their greatest hits set) and Im embarrassed to have to admit that Id never even heard of them before.Given their playing abilities, this is a band that I can imagine being quite marvellous live, and theres a decidedly live feel to the CD that animates soaring road ballads like California, the kind of thing that wouldnt have sounded out of place on an early Eagles album.The bands only female member, Kendel Carson, plays some tasty fiddle licks throughout, but shes also a fine singer, contributing much to a lovely duet with Landa on Fall Down With You.Bands capable of bringing this much conviction to such a diverse range of styles are rare indeed so investing in The Paperboys would be a wise move for anybody who enjoys artists like Paul Simon, Loudon Wainwright or Great Big Sea.Dirty Linen : The Paperboys know how to grab melody hooks in pop friendly
