about
Paul's music is a potent blend of tough blues, world-class virtuoso solo improvisation and strong songwriting. Founder of seminal Canadian punk rock band The Action, Paul later delved into blues-based rock and psychedelic guitar hero pyrotechnics on slide guitar. He has been signed to Montreal's Montreco Records, New York City's Torrid Records (produced by legend Mick Ronson who also played guitar on the session), The Netherlands' Continental Records (Rounder-Universal) and was distributed by Germany's In-Akustik. In 1998 he embarked on a solo career. Paul's music is a potent blend of tough blues, psychedelic solo improvisation, raw punk vocal energy, strong songwriting and a revolutionary approach to open tunings and slide guitar. CD's: 2006: Judgement Day / 2002: Live! In Toronto / 2002: Red Hot Slide 1995-2002 / 2001: Vancouver Blue / 1999: Worldwide Slide / 1999: Binson's Blues / "Perhaps only the Australian Dave Hole is comparable in the slide guitar stakes, as Canadian Paul Fenton plays some of the most mesmerising, warm toned slide guitar you have ever heard...A majestic player who at times seems to weave his guitar lines through the eyes of an imaginary needle, 'Judgement Day' is the perfect introduction to those who have never heard Paul Fenton before. Once you've heard this album you will be hooked."
