Say What You Like is het vijfde album van de Canadees Doug Paisley en wederom maakt dat duidelijk hoe goed hij is. Teksten waar je U tegen zegt, een bescheiden stem die desondanks in staat is kippenvel te veroorzaken. En dan zijn liedjes… die lijken wel een combinatie van Townes Van Zandt, J.J. Cale en John Prine. Paisley is hier te lande nogal onder de radar gebleven. En dat is onterecht. Als er nog zoiets als muzikale rechtvaardigheid bestaat, dan worden er van Say What You Like heel veel exemplaren verkocht en gestreamd. Want Doug Paisley is een uniek talent!
Paisley’s new record, Say What You Like, underscores his prowess as a songwriter, while exploring new sonic terrain with producer Afie Jurvanen. Distilled from more than 250 unrecorded songs penned by Paisley over the last decade, the eleven tracks selected by Jurvanen combine folk, country and pop sensibilities to showcase Paisley’s rich sense of melody and remarkable way with words. The final product is Paisley at his best – honest, exposed, searching – and yet comforting in his ability to communicate the universal in the struggles of the individual. In meditations on the disappointments and shortcomings of love, Paisley looks hard at middle age, and facing the time “when looking young is getting old.” “We’re always somewhere in-between forever and walking away / we’ll spend a lifetime, you and me, day by day.” One cannot help but get the sense from these songs that Paisley simply must write – it’s about emotional survival and the process of working through. “As a songwriter these days,” Paisley reflected earlier this year, “there’s very little to gain and very little to lose so I am working only from the heart, there’s no other motive.” It shows.
