"I was in HMV in London and listened to this one, and I was blown away. Since I am from the states I cant find good stuff like this. Its a combination of John Mayer with David Gray and the voice of Bob Dylan. My favorite track is Lucky One. The lyrics just draw you in. All his songs have different beats to them and that is hard to find these days. He experiments on each track. The whole CD is wickedly awesome and even phenomenal. Gotta own this one."

Good stuff

"Paddy Casey's first CD, Amen: So Be It, was really well done. Mr. Casey (an admirer of the similarly multi-talented Prince) wrote the music, lyrics, and played the instruments. Here, on Living, he is joined by a group of excellent musicians and a very present producer. The result is a strong framework for his new stuff, but one that lacks a singular voice. Also, a few of the songs feature really clumsy lyrics ("Just get in your car / we can go and be a star") that stick out like bad acting in a high school play.However, the CD as a whole is eminently listenable. The first three tracks are particularly strong--wonderful pop songs with great melodic hooks that linger for days. Casey seems to have left the busker/poet/songwriter thing behind, but Living is a great new statement for him. I'd love to hear him do these live--Paddy Casey: Unplugged. Enjoy!"

"I have recently discovered Paddy and love Saints and Sinners also released as a single in UK, yes anyone can be a star, (words from the song) yes anyone if you're Jordan flashing her ****

But Paddy you are mulitalented and the lyrics are so right in there with irish contempory folk. I wish I went to Bar-Fly to see you in Liverpool when you played there, I couldnt make it..bet you were a wow! A great album and single."
