"Homegrown is representative of the positivity Paul Cannon strives to evoke through his honest and exploratory lyrics."
Review of Paul Cannon Band's 2013 album Homegrown.
Read the full review below:
“All I see is what I need / In my own hometown / In my own
hometown.” These telling lyrics taken from the title track of Paul Cannon
Band’s debut full-length record Homegrown
highlight the theme that lies beneath all of band leader Paul Cannon’s music to
date. From the folksy harmonica twinges of “All She Wants” to the dynamic
singer/songwriter vibes of album opener “We Can Change,” Homegrown is representative of the positivity Cannon strives to
evoke through his honest and exploratory lyrics.
Based in San Diego, the band’s springtime album (released on
March 25, 2013) comes on the heels of a 2011 four-track EP and three single
releases in 2012. A year after its official launch, the “Homegrown” single has
not only inspired a television campaign promoting San Diego’s own 102.1FM KPRI
and the local artists it spotlights: it has also become the symbolic link
between the community outreach that Cannon immerses himself in and the music he
creates with his backing band.
