Also highlighted here are Paksiri’s production skills and his penchant for pushing the boundaries of standard molam arrangements and instrumentation, always trying to fuse new ideas with tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn uncredited Phairin Phonphibun makes an appearance on a few tracks here, giving lucky listeners a glimpse of the singers’ Tidso Lam Phloen dynamism: Paksiri’s genius, a long-standing backing band, and simpatico vocal styles honed in the crucible of performance. This is the first vinyl release of any music from Sonthaya’s years with Surin Paksiri and as such represents a valuable document, with accompanying English lyric translations; but more than a document, Grade A Guy is grade A music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
