"Light Green Ball"
Im Februar 2002 erschien bei Stockfisch Paul Stephensons CD "Light Green Ball" - wunderschöne Songs in audiophiler Qualität recorded.
Paul Stephenson und Chris Jones harmonieren wunderbar mit ihren Gitarren - Gitarrensound der Extraklasse. Drei Baßspieler wirken bei Light Green Ball mit: Hans-Jörg Maucksch (Fretless), Grischka Zepf (E-Bass) und Michael Cammann (Double Bass). Als Multiinstrumentalist zeigt sich einmal mehr Beo Brockhausen: Er spielt 13 Instrumente (Soprano Sax, Darabuka, Hurdy-Gurdy, Percussion, Bamboo Clarinet, Low Whistle, Tinwhistle, Accordion, Sarod, Hammered Dulcimer, Bowed Psaltery, Shaker und Mandola). Außerdem: Martin Huch (Dobro), Mike Silver (Harmony Vocals), Anne Marie Harer, Birgit Rieck, Christoph Harer (Strings), Christine Maringer-Tries (Harmony Vocals).
Paul Stephenson schreibt über sich:
But mostly I played solo, and my most popular recording was completely solo, just a guitar and a voice (A bend in the road, released on CD in 1991). I changed my name to Tom Zola for that recording, after the two great nineteenth-century novelists Thomas Hardy and Emile Zola.

Well, it was a long dream ...
I moved to France a few years ago, and work as a translator. These days, I dream mostly in a corner of the bedroom where I keep my elementary and ageing recording equipment, which I used to finally dress up my songs in comfortable clothes. Gunter Pauler, at Stockfisch Records, got to hear them and I have the feeling that the album he's about to produce is the place I've been heading for all this time ..."
