Book Description

May 2002
A nationally known singer-songwriter, Ellis Pauls first hardcover book is filled with his journal entries, sketches, poetry and lyrics. The book is a beautiful insight into Ellis experiences along the road. Ellis Paul is now a national folk star and to many the quintessential Boston songwriter literate, provocative, urbanely romantic. -- The Boston Globe

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...vivid vignettes of his everyday life as one of folk music's most in-demand headliners, along with reflective poems..." -- Scott Alarik--The Boston Globe, June 27, 2002

From the Author

Author's Preface September 13, 2001

I am writing just days after the tragedy of the terrorist attacks in Pennsylvania, NYC, and Washington DC-the deadline for this book is fast approaching and I have been asked to write a foreword regarding the material included and I can't separate my thoughts on these details from the broader ones of the tragedy. I can't help but think of the backdrop of where I live and how fortunate I am to be here.

I feel very lucky to be able to make music for a living, to write words that people can hear and can read without restraint from government or religion. Our economy gives people the freedom to create, explore and purchase music, literature and art. This country provides a freedom that is present in these ideas and words, and I hope you see the joy I take in writing them.

Initially, I was going to step into a discussion of what poetry vs. lyrics vs. spoken word was here, but it comes down to simply this-these are words and sketches I jotted down in journals, through letters, or lyrics. It's me-occasionally reckless, joyful, somber.

Thank you for opening these pages.

-Ellis Paul

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, March 4, 2006
This review is from: Notes from the Road (Hardcover)
I bought and read this book when it came out and I must say I was very disappointed - not with the "Notes from the Road" portion of the content but that 33% of it was lyrics from his songs. As a fan of Paul's from the late 90's I've had no problem finding the lyrics to his songs on the Web or newsgroups. I found myself desiring a lot more of the journal-entries/notes from the road.
