about

"Oil Town," is an impressive collection of from-the-heart songs, sung with grit and passion--and the right amount of grace. He writes insightful songs and sings them the way he envisioned them to be sung. This CD is well-produced, with just enough accompaniment to accentuate Paul's music, bringing his strong, clear vocals to the forefront. Paul makes his mentor, the late Jack Hardy, proud of him with this one.--
Wanda Fischer, Producer/Host, "The Hudson River Sampler," WAMC-FM/Northeast

With a country crooner's voice and a folk songwriter's soul, Paul Sachs is in tune with our uncertain times in the 21st century. On 'Oil Town,' he sets an unflinching eye on rusted dreams, frayed lives, corporate evil-doers, and the smaller tragedies between average men and women everywhere. - Chris Kocher, writer for the (Binghamton, N.Y.) Press & Sun-Bulletin and Sing Out New York

Paul Sachs' new recording, Oil Town has a real smooth acoustic sound that's drenched with great grass roots lyrics. This CD gives a lot of pure listening pleasure. Excellent project."--Jim Fisher WGCS radio

"The Songs of the Working people have always been their sharpest statement and the one statement that cannot be destroyed. You can burn books, buy newspapers, you can guard against handbills and pamphlets, but you cannot prevent singing."- John Steinbeck.
