Paul Baribeau part 1

Paul Baribeau is a very honest man. He doesn't really play the guitar or sing to fill the room with beautiful texture and melody, he does it because he needs to tell you something. Something very important. He sings as if he is begging to be heard. He just needs to get a few things off his chest. The lyrics are usually about past experiences, past lovers, or just people in his life past or present. Whether he can sing or play the guitar is not the point. It almost goes along with the message he brings to his work. His music and playing is a mess because he's a mess. Paul Baribeau had to have been the best find for me in 2010.  If you haven't heard of this fella, here you go. Fun(ish) fact: Paul Baribeau gets a shot out and sings one line in the song "Tire Swing" by Kimya Dawson.
