Bio
Paul Blanchard, son of the enigmatic country singer Saratoga Red, is proud to announce the release of his long awaited solo album, Side Yard Barking.
After a six year hiatus, Paul returned to his home studio to produce his fourth full length project, which is currently set to hit the internet January 6, 2009.
Side Yard Barking is all about the songs and the music. From the humorously poignant (if not esoteric) metaphor of the title track, to the weightiness of Worthless Tramp, the album was produced with a minimalist approach, free from over-production and not a lot of "studio trickery". The sound is purely organic as a result, which allows the songs to speak for themselves.
Paul is also working in collaboration with long time friend and co-writer Rick Fontaine on a separate project, under the working title of Shapeshifting due to be completed in October, 2009.
About
Paul Blanchard Presents:
SIDE YARD BARKING
If you have no regard for the yard I guard
Beware of what may come your way
If you have no respect then you must expect
The effect of my vocal relay
Construction man, stop your digging at once!
I am about to go ballistic on you
I can see you through the slats in the fence
And I'll get you if I ever slip through
Side Yard Barking – When the birds fly over
Side Yard Barking – Making tracks in the clover
Always joining the chase
To keep you out of my space
The meter man doesn't stand a chance
When I am out on the perimeter
If he gets too close then I will nip at his pants
And I'll be all piss and vinegar
Now this is how I get my point across!
I'll make sure that you catch my drift
This is my turf and I'm the ultimate boss
And I'll get you – I'm extremely miffed
Side Yard Barking – When you walk by my gate
Side Yard Barking – Now I'm getting irate
In the sun and the rain
Protection of my domain means
Side Yard Barking. Barking in the side yard.
You may have never noticed me in my anonymity
Until I gave myself away
My life was never hard until I took upon myself to guard
And then I gave myself away
If I could just be quiet and stop inciting riots
I'd probably have an easier day
