Songs and Sonnets by Paul Muldoon
Fans of Muldoon's band, Rackett, will recognise Mad for You, Good As It Gets, 11 o'Clock and Resistance as song lyrics from their 2007 album Resistance, but anyone who listens to Muldoon's captivating reading of Hey Rachel will hear how these songs need no musical support. I was delighted to see that Leonard Cohen performs Byron's 'We'll Go No More a-Roving' as a poem-song, Muldoon enthused in a recent lecture for the Poetry Society and perhaps that hyphenated category poem-songs best describes these songs and sonnets. They are complex, charged performances that vibrate in the interim between one thing and the other. They'll rock your world. Guardian
The Guardian, 11/01/13: 'They are complex, charged performances that vibrate in the interim between one thing and the otherThey'll rock your world.'
