O’s Notes: Al Gold plays guitar, mandolin, sings and composes the songs for Paradise, a collection of down home blues. There are all of the requisite guitar and organ infusions that you’d expect for blues. The beats have that rocking motion that lulls you into a sense of trust so you can sit back and listen to Al recite his stories, good stories, highlighted by “Won’t Sleep Tonight”, “Mr. Banker” and the title track.
