Self-made man with Secret ambition
PADDY CASEY is still angry. “I wasn’t annoyed my last record didn’t do the business,” says the Dublin-born singer-songwriter, “What got to me was that the label kind of gave up on it.”
Addicted to Company came out in 2007. It was the follow-up to Living, the multi-platinum LP that turned Casey into a star. The expectation was that Addicted would perform every bit as well. When it didn’t, relations with his label turned sour. There was a nasty falling out. Casey says he has moved on. But it is clear he remains upset.
