Words like genuine, honest, raw, heartfelt, intense, visceral, beautiful...all of these and more get thrown around a lot, especially when one tries to aptly describe a singer/songwriter armed with an acoustic guitar. All would be appropriate adjectives in characterizing the essence of New York City's Christopher Paul Stelling and his music, but they would also all fall shy of truly capturing what it is that he does. When people talk about the power of one voice and a guitar, they're talking about Christopher Paul Stelling. If you don't believe me, check out the three songs he performed live for the "Sleepover Shows" series below.
Christopher Paul Stelling - "Mourning Train to Memphis"
Christopher Paul Stelling - "Solar Flares"
Christopher Paul Stelling - "The Ocean Stole My Love Away"
All of the above song are featured on Stelling's new album, Songs of Praise and Scorn, out February 2012.
