Earth Angel was a task Pauly wanted to take head on with a new vision compared to the many other acts that have covered this great classic. Pauly definitely made this song his own with the arrangement he created and once again letting his vocals shine though.

Earth Angel

This song was recorded at the Magic Shop studios in NYC (Bowie, Coldplay, Norah Jones, The Ramones) with Ted Young engineering and Richard Barone as producer. Chris Duggan & Pauly Cunningham as co-producers.
Andy Kravitz (LA) then took the song to lay down new drums and a new mix.

HOME (Andy Kravitz mix)

Pauly Cunningham is Breaking The Horse. A project he started after his former band disbanded over 3yrs ago.
Pauly's music is nothing short of honesty at its best with his vocals being that would be considered a classic strong sound. His new material is pulled from all genres over the last four decades. Some could say there's a little Pink Floyd, Ray Charles, Bob Seger & Florence & The Machine, but in reality it sounds like Pauly (Breaking The Horse).

Pauly's currently working on the new songs for his first BTH record tentatively tittled "Honesty Is A Gift" With the first two songs, (Home & Breathe) recorded and mixed at the famous Magic Shop studios in NYC Pauly and mates took full advantage of the studio's one of a kind custom analog Neve console that came out of the BBC studios in London. As well as all the vintage gear like a Mellotron and many other old keys going through a Lesslie. 
It's easy to hear the difference from todays traditional recordings and what Pauly and producer Richard Barone (The Bongos) did at the Magic Shop. Pauly has also been working with Andy Kravitz (Producer/Mixer/Drummer) as Andy tracked all the drums on 2" tape at his studio in LA, Sound & Vision where Andy also re-mixed the 2 songs.
Pauly & Andy continue to work together on new ideas for the record. 

Pauly is continually writing for this new record in hopes it will be released before 2015. So keep your ears close by as you don't want to miss what's coming next..... 


Write Ups -

"Paul Cunningham has a voice that embodies all the powerful, masculine sensitivity you can ask for, and a creative sensibility that transcends genre. Working with Paul is a unique pleasure because the minute he starts singing the sound is instantly classy and classic. The dude rocks." - Richard Barone (singer/songwriter/producer, The Bongos)

“Hundreds of songs come across my desk that are written and performed by some of the most sought after songwriters and artists living in music cities such as New York & Nashville.  Paul’s music by far, surpasses most of the music I hear on a daily bases.  Paul’s songs are diverse, refreshing and certainly relatable.  Each song transports you to a new place, another world almost with the diversity of his sound and lyrical content with the story he tells.  He has amazing scope and vision for his craft.  I can’t wait to hear what the rest of his album brings to the table.

“Home” immediately a grabs your attention with the opening melody.  The entire song is all-encompassing as it relates differently to each individual differently in how it relates to one’s life.  “Home” is honest which can leave one feeling melancholy, bring you back to familiarity or a bitter sweet memory of memories that are unable to be created again due to life circumstance. “Home” leaves you with more courage and strength for the future.  This recording is raw; it’s not overdone with pro tools and completely natural expressing soul and honesty.

As you are absorbed in the melody of “Breath” your emotions change as the song digs deeper as it is reveals a strong and abstract story expressing ones true feelings creating a commonplace for the listener. “Breath” awakens your heart and mind and becomes tangible as it enlightens the soul.  The authentic tone and lyrics remind us of our current and past mental existence which is the core to every great song. “Breath” gives you a more modern twist then” Home” giving enough diversity to want to hear more.
