Sonthaya Kalasin was the male lead singer in in the molam section of legendary producer/impresario Surin Paksiris beloved musical troupe Tidso Lam Phloen; his female counterpart was Phairin Phonphibun (EM1147CD/LP). These recordings, the very best of Kalasins work with Paksiri, cover the period from the mid-70s to the early 80s and showcase Kalasins mastery of the traditional male molam lower vocal range. Also highlighted here are Paksiris production skills and his penchant for pushing the boundaries of standard molam arrangements and instrumentation, always trying to fuse new ideas with tradition. An uncredited Phairin Phonphibun makes an appearance on a few tracks here, giving lucky listeners a glimpse of the singers Tidso Lam Phloen dynamism: Paksiris genius, a long-standing backing band, and simpatico vocal styles honed in the crucible of performance. This is the first CD release of any music from Sonthayas years with Surin Paksiri and as such represent a valuable document, with accompanying English lyric translations; but more than a document, Grade A Guy is grade A music.
