Paul Evans
Agua Noir

"Agua Noir" means "Dark Waters" and describes where this music came from. It explores the deepest places in the human soul and experience and, while somewhat dark, is just plain fun and refreshing to listen to.
These 11 tracks are written and performed by Paul Evans Pedersen, Jr. (acoustic guitar, vocals), with help from Jim Heffernan (steel guitar, dobro, electric lead and rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, banjo, and drum programming), Bill Corvino (electric lead and rhythm guitar, gut string acoustic), and Chester Ferguson (sax).
The influences of Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Mark Knopfler, John Lennon, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, ... even Leon Redbone thread and intertwine with Paul's vocal and writing originality, presenting quite an intimate side of this gifted, eclectic and engaging songwriter.
