![Paddy Mann, or Grand Salvo as the album sleeve calls him, is one of Australia's most under-exposed folk artists. With three LP's under the belt, and a grand total of 500 words written about him on any form of official web pages, you're beginning to see how extremely unusual Grand Salvo is in the current music climate. Existing almost as a mythical being, he has gained himself a small, but earnest cult following, where anyone who has heard even the slightest whisper of an album is in disbelief as to why he remains so far under the radar.
The mystery of his lack of promotion is congruous with his haunting melodic folk, a low key sound reminiscient of Iron & Wine's 'Creek Drank the Cradle,' a comparison made all too often, but one which only barely hits the mark. Grand Salvo is one of Australia's most unique folk artists, with absorbing, thematic storytelling crossing unusual soundscapes to gorgeous consequence. Thus, he becomes an extremely fitting candidate for Soulshine's Freshly Picked.
