Radio Review
Beaten Path CD
Paul Nye's album, BEATEN
PATH, is a well-produced independent album that sets itself 
apart from other similar works, by taking an honest look at current life. Despite the inherent humor, there are some very
wise messages lying within the tracks. The opening track, "The
Scotts I Know," is a great bit of word play and highlights one of the frustrations of today's rushed lifestyle.
"Why is There No Peace" is a highly topical work and shows
Paul's intuitive side at work.Among the tracks, you are sure to find
at least one you can relate to, while enjoying and savouring the others. Paul Nye's Beaten Path CD is something
to be cherished and replayed frequently.

“As an elementary school teacher, I have given Paul an open invitation
to perform in my classroom. He is funny, compassionate and loves to sing in front of people of all ages. He believes
that his music should teach people to think, even elementary kids. I have a copy of his latest adult CD called, Beaten
Path. To me, his lyrics are like finding a soul mate as they challenge me to become a better person as I ponder the
possibilities. Paul’s music is honest and true to himself. I’ve seen Paul perform not only in my classroom,
but also in public venues. Paul is a showman on stage, understanding what a crowd needs and wants from his music.
Our community appreciates the music of Paul Nye and I believe yours will too.”

Conversation between Paul and 3rd grader Jack Naugle....
Jack: "Mr. Nye, my mom has your CD."
Paul: "Oh, that's cool! I'll bet she plays it every
day."
Jack: "No, it's in the
junk drawer in the kitchen."

“Paul
brings to his performances a varied music style and many years of professional showmanship. He can draw you in with
an emotional and touching song, then set you laughing with one of his many clever and witty songs, and everything in between.
There is a natural ease about his performance; he invites his audience into his music as if to say, "Here enjoy this
song with me." Whether covering a song or performing one of his many originals, he brings a peculiar familiarity
to each song.
“Paul is also very knowledgeable in the technical aspects of instrumentation and vocalization.
Be assured, you will have the utmost in sound that he can provide, or adapt to whatever sound system is provided.
“His professionalism and experience has been and continues to be an asset to our theater.”

“Hubert Humphrey once said that one important role for the church was to be the conscience of the state.
Through his music, Paul is asking the question, 'Who, then, is the conscience of the church?' His humor and
insightful lyrics are reminiscent of Randy Newman, Steve Goodman and John Prine. As a producer of public affairs radio
programs, I am always looking for this sort of material done with the care and professionalism of a Paul Nye.”

“Paul is both thought-provoking and surprising.
Thought-provoking in the sense that his lyrics go beyond trite themes, and surprising in the sense that he rarely communicates
truths the way you would 'expect' them to be said. It's very unique.”
