    "A voice to turn good girls bad...Maybe crazy but damn exciting."
    -- The Village Voice

    "One of America's best -- and most underrated -- songwriters."
    -- PopMatters

    “For all his simplicity, Reid is like nobody else.”
    -- Seattle Weekly

    "What? You want some kind of description of the artist and his music? Just fucking listen to the guy and enjoy his prowess."
    -- Frank Black a.k.a. Black Francis

    "The bastard child of Sinatra and Lemmy. Great epic, minimalist rock tunes with that end of the night feel."
    --Random Magazine UK

    "Possessed with the voice of a drunken wolf. Songs that roar."
    --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    "Best Of Manhattan"
    -- New York Press

    "Best Actual Gig of the Year. Very very impressive."
    --Sleazegrinder UK

    "A proudly weird talent with a nervy raw appeal."
    --Time Out New York

    --Cleveland Free Times

    "An unholy howl of a voice."
    -- CMJ New Music Monthly

    "Reduce-you-to-tears razor wit...Reid Paley ought to be a household name."
    --Pittsburgh City Paper

    "One of the East Coast's best-kept secrets, his wryly misanthropic schtick is all his own. Live, he is the Bill Hicks of the blues. You need to see him."
    --What's On In London

    "Straightforward, sarcastic, funny and gifted at putting a song together."
    --New York Press

    "For fans of churlish honesty and unaffected one-man shows, REVIVAL is a nonstop riot."
    --San Francisco Weekly

    "A jarring reminder of what rock'n'roll once was and could be again."
    --The Washington Times

    "Reid Paley is the kind of artist Seattle loves."
    --The Stranger

lyrics

MY ANGEL (Reid Paley)

I’m still locked down here
Still doing penance for my angel
Pretty one
I’m still bleeding here
Tender incisions for my angel
Pretty one

You’re my angel
And I live to feel your breath
You’re my angel
So much closer than the rest
You’re my angel
You’re an orphan you’re the chosen you’re my stone

Bound and gagged down here
I’m half in heaven for my angel
Pretty one
Black and blue down here
Flung in the dark pit for my angel
Pretty one

You’re my angel
And I live to feel your breath
You’re my angel
So much closer than the rest
You’re my angel
You’re an orphan you’re the chosen you’re my stone

I’m still locked down here
Still doing penance for my angel
Pretty one
I’m still bleeding here
Tender incisions for my angel
Pretty one

I’m still locked down here
Still doing penance for my angel
Pretty one
