"Ellis Paul is now a national folk star and to many the quintessential Boston songwriter: literate, provocative, urbanely romantic." - The Boston Globe
Bio / Background
At the time I wrote the songs for my second cassette album, "Am I Home", I was working as a caseworker at the Compass School in Jamaica Plain, a neighborhood in Boston with a clientel of emotionally charged inner city kids, most with behavior problems that had gotten them kicked out of the Boston public schools, and for some, into the Department of Youth Services. It was the hardest job I've ever had-- but, I was playing music at night at these open mikes-- the music and the friendships kept me positive on the hard days... The work was rewarding, especially in hindsight, and it gave me a glimpse of how hard the world can be for some people. I was 24 at the time. This came out about 8 months after "Urban Folk Songs".
Some of the music reflects the city and the kids I was working with, "New Light on Your Halo" and "Angel"....
