Critical Praise for "These Eyes
and Ears"
"The sound is string-band whimsy, and the droll, conversational
songs amble along like the work of a young man, despite echoes
of Mose Allison and Dave Frishberg."
- Daniel Gewertz, The Boston Herald
"...Kahn opens the mind AND heart effectively...many
of these well crafted songs will be covered by better known
singers."
- Greg Allen, Soundations
"...an awareness and gentle humor as American as apple
pie. Songs worth discovering."
- Montreal Jazz Festival
"...guitar-based folk music which tells stories with
wit and wisdom, style and understatement...refreshing songs."
- David Brinn, The Jerusalem Post (Israel)
"Well written, wistful, and magical"
- Kate McGarrigle (noted songwriter)
"Paul Kahn's band is top notch and his songs convey effective
imagery, humor, and emotions...Steve Goodman, where are you?"
- Blues Revue
"...country-folk ditties that any of the boys from Nashville
would be happy to call their own...a perfect choice as background
music...in any cowboy flick...the album never sounds dated
or stale."
- Splendid E-Zine
"...a mellow fellow on a laid-back, retro selection of
40's/50's country, pop and songwriter-inclined own material,
with odd jazz/swing tinges. Nice atmosphere..."
- Folk Roots (England)
"November is a jazzy, sentimental song of lost love with
the feel of a Cole Porter standard."
- Journal-News (Hamilton, Ohio)

touches of old-time and bluegrass, as well as some top-notch
singer-songwriter material."
- Global Village Idiot
