Hal Paris- Until Loving Finds Me

Hal Paris, the songwriting linchpin of the cult psychedelic outfit Country Funk, delivers a soul-baring collection with Until Loving Finds Me, 14 unreleased home demos that capture a restless talent at a pivotal moment, straddling the lonesome freedom of his East Coast retreat and the pull of Boulder’s promise. These lo-fi tracks, cut between 1971 and 1972, showcase Paris’s knack for heartfelt melodies and a voice echoing Jerry Garcia’s earnestness making this posthumous release a bittersweet testament to an artist who deserved a bigger stage.
