Comment:	I have mixed feelings about Paradise Sky. The songs are classics and a lot of the new recordings are fine. The disappointment lies in the fact that when "Born twice" was a low budget and under-produced album there is only 1 song from that era which was re-recorded for Paradise Sky (the sublime Norman's Kitchen) and the new version is a throwaway performance and less interesting than the zany original. "The Sky Is Falling" didn't quite hit the same hits as "Welcome To Paradise" and the mix seemed a little weird on that album yet once again the Paradise Sky recordings of those songs stick pretty close to the original arrangements, except for Counterfeit King where just when you think the new arrangement is going to pay off it gets interupted by a Bible reading in the middle of the song. If Paradise Sky was really a chance to go back and re-record some of the best songs from randy's first decade and record them with the benefit of better recording technology and more recording know-how then it looks like the opportunity has been missed and many of the new recordings come out sounding paler than the originals... guys like Jon Linn and Andy Johns who played and engineered on the originals were unsung heroes Welcome To Paradise and The Sky Is Falling are still available on CD from Solid Rock and the origianl Norman's Kitchen recording is available on the Cottage Tapes Volume 1 CD in good sound quality
