Paul Sherry has released the music video for “Peace In Mind,” the title track from his fourth album, out now. Filmed on location in County Monaghan by Brendan McElroy of Pixil Media, the video carries the same quiet, searching energy as the song itself. It’s a strong visual companion to one of the more grounded rock records to come out of Ireland in recent years.
‘Peace In Mind’ earned four stars from RnR Magazine, with the publication calling it a “tight, well delivered album, filled with great songs with no unnecessary frills.” Hot Press tagged it “heart-on-sleeve, anthemic roots rock.” Back-to-back No.1 singles on UK Future Hits Top 40 Radio followed. The record is built on ten songs delivered with Sherry’s trademark feel-first approach, produced by longtime collaborator Rocky O’Reilly, with Davy Cassidy on drums and Paul McCabe on bass.
The title track draws its inspiration from philosopher Alan Watts, specifically his teaching that true serenity comes from merging with the flow of existence rather than resisting it. Sherry translates that idea into something direct and personal. “As we all walk our own paths in life, we are all just trying to find peace in mind wherever we can,” he says.
Sherry’s resume is extensive. Best known as lead guitarist with the Gráinne Duffy Band, he has collaborated with Marc Ford, Dale Davis, Arron Sterling, Jorgen Carlsson, Kenny Aronoff, and Justin Stanley. He brings that same level of craft and seriousness to his solo work, and ‘Peace In Mind’ reflects exactly that, a rock and roots record made with real skill and zero wasted space.
