    "Everyone has a favorite drinking album. Right now, mine is REVIVAL."
    -- Seattle Weekly

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

    "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

    "Best 50 Albums of the Year"
    -- Alternative Press

    "A soot-black sense of humor as biting as an underfed Rottweiler."
    --Cleveland Free Times

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

    "REVIVAL has the immediacy of a blues album...too idiosyncratic to be summed up in one category."
    -- In Pittsburgh

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

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

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

    "Four Stars"
    -- German Rolling Stone

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

    --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    "Best Of Manhattan"
    -- New York Press

    "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

THE PASSION OF HARRY M (CRUCIFIED)
(Reid Paley)

You just take a look around
And you’re lying on the ground
Ask me one more time I’ll tell you why
You all acting like it’s true
I know what I’d be to you
Just another clown to crucify

Don’t tell me how much you need me
Open up that window
You can fly
You all acting like it’s true
I know what I’d be to you
Just another clown to crucify

[Spirited Instrumental]

I would not want you to miss me
Don’t disregard your mental health
Sometimes I think I might just open up my heart
And let you take it all upon yourself

Well I think I’m almost through
Hearing what I mean to you
Push me one more time and you’ll know why
You all acting like it’s true
I know what I’d be to you
Just another clown to crucify

Don’t tell me how much you need me
Open up that window I can fly
You all acting like it’s true
I know what I’d be to you
Just another clown to crucify
