5.0 out of 5 stars A Fiery Musical Stew
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2010
Verified Purchase
My introduction to the music of Paul Thorn came about a year ago at a friend's pool party. I liked what I heard then and since that time have sought out some of Thorn's back catalogue. Mission Temple Fireworks Stand looked like an interesting place to delve deeper, so I took the plunge. What a fiery musical stew! Those who buy this will be treated to a rollicking mix of Southern gospel rock tinged with a dollop of blues, a heavy dose of country, and a occasional pinch of mawkish sentimentality.
Here's what I like: the rousing opener, Everybody Looks Good At the Starting Line; the inspirational Rise Up; the humorous, clever, and gospel-tinged title cut; Things Left Undone, a mournful tale of regrets; the straight-forward rock of There's Something Out There; the humorous Ain't Livin' In Sin No More; and Nothin' But the Devil which to me, is lyrically the best song on the album because of the truths it tells. About the only song I don't care for is the lachrymose Angel Too Soon.
The CD comes with a multi-fold insert containing pictures, lyrics and all pertinent album info. Its difficult to categorize Thorn's music for those who haven't heard him. If I was forced to peg him, I'd say he's the South's answer to Texas' James McMurtry. Give this album a shot. I guarantee it's worth many a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album in a gospel style
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021

This is really an awesome album. I originally purchased it for the title track, but after listening to the whole thing, it is now a go to for driving. Thought provoking lyrics, a great gospel type style and great harmonies. Would recommend to anyone looking for something a little different from rock or country. Very upbeat and positive to get your day going in better direction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mission Temple Fireworks Stand - Paul Thorn
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2005
Verified Purchase
Paul suffers from that rare problem of being very talented but can't be pigeoned holed in a genre like the record companies like to do. I saw him live and was an instant convert!

"Rise Up", is a great song about nmotivating yourself in a time of trouble

"Ain't Living in Sin No More", is a prime example of how people view a relationship

The Title track is a page out of "quirky" America

If you like this you are going to love his latest albumn "Are You With Me?"

Paul Thorne came to my local NPR station WCBE 90.5 and did an in studio interview and a few ssongs. I decided to get this album to add to the others I already own. Unfortunatewly I was not able to get to his local appearance, but the cds I got make up for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ain't Nothing Like A Fireworks stand revival in the South!
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2008
Verified Purchase
I have just recently discovered Paul Thorn's music. On this cd he truly captures how it feels to be in and from the south. You can feel the humidity and hear the crickets, smell the sweat at an old time camp meeting, but this album is not about religon it is about truth and determination. There is not a bad cut on this album, from Everyone Looks Good At The Starting Line to I'm A Lucky Man. The song Mission Temple Fireworks Stand, makes you want to believe even if you are determined not to. I like Paul Thorn was a boxer and no matter how good you are at some point truth will win out over determination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty And Nuanced, Yet Poignant
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2004
Verified Purchase
"Mission Temple Fireworks Stand" is one of Paul Thorn's masterpieces. From the quirky artwork (by Thorn himself) to the oddball mix of country, blues, rock, and comedy intrinsic in the music itself, this CD is hard to beat.

I have always liked Thorn, and especially his peculiar offbeat funny songs full of comic hostility ("Burn Down The Trailer Park" is the best example). This CD not only gives the listener some more conventional pop-like songs, but several original alternative comedy songs full of both broadside humor and subtle nuance, the best example being the title track. This CD has really earned its five stars, and I highly recommend it.

We'd never heard of him, but he opened for a John Prine show we had tickets for. Paul Thorn's music is addicting. Some of it is hilarious and some is hauntingly beautiful.
His live performances include a good deal of story telling that make the tunes even more special.
We are both definately Paul Thorn fans now that we've been introduced to him.

Music from the heart and mind that speaks to us all.
