From the back cover: Paul O'Shea is he perfect man to present these unique songs. As a rising young singing star, his light tenor voice provides all the necessary tonal shades which are so essential to folk singing. As ice if America;s best and mist successful racing drivers, he has all the necessary qualification for understanding the interpreting the songs. Indeed, before long, he may be the subject of a song himself, for his abilities behind the wheel are enormous. Paul has been in and out of the automobile business in one form or another for the past ten years. He also made the side trio into harness racing, achieving more than a little success in that field – but that's another story.
