Follow your friends. Follow your heart.
Follow a monkey through a forest. Follow a monster through a cave.
Follow the path you see before you.
Follow your beliefs. Fight for them when needed.
Follow joy and the path home after the ride.
Then follow it all over again.

There’s a weathered beauty in Paul McDonald’s voice—equal parts grit and grace, hard-won from years spent chasing the muse through fame, flameouts, and quiet reinvention. With “So Long to the Dark Side”, the Alabama-born troubadour delivers his most honest and unfiltered work to date. Cut live in a single day with Grammy-nominated producer Bobby Holland, the album feels timeless—leaning into the raw soul of vintage rock & roll and the poetic ache of classic Americana.

McDonald first turned heads on national television back in 2011, but his story goes way beyond that: dive bars in the Deep South, van tours with “The Grand Magnolias”, and a long stretch off the grid, rebuilding his life one song at a time. Out of that silence came “The Mourning Doves”, a band with real chemistry, and “One Big Love”, a grassroots Nashville festival that’s become a local institution.

This record is McDonald’s testimony. It’s about loss, healing, and letting the light back in. The title track, “Dark Side,” serves as both confession and turning point—a raw, redemptive anthem written in the depths of addiction and personal reckoning. It lit the way forward, setting the emotional tone for the album that followed. From the existential haze of “What’s the Point?” to the road-worn hope of “Unwind,” these songs don’t just tell a story—they carry one.

“So Long to the Dark Side” isn’t just a return—it’s a reckoning. A reminder that some artists don’t fade. They just go deeper.
