Paul Zinnard is a Spanish-based folk-rock project whose vocals and pace leave no space for any accent or short-of-breath guitarist. Having already released 4 LPs, Tracy Stacey and Me is a gorgeous advance for his fifth album entitled Songs for a Better Past, and perhaps the best compliment we can do is that we could easily see Courtney Barnett singing and performing this. Vocally engaging, pacy, flowy and very very convincing, this is a hell of a song that even sounds a bit like Dire Straits.
