Paul is a guitar GOD! I have the honor of being an old friend, and am thrilled to hear he's continued on this path.

I buy a lot of music and have bought about 100 new CD's this year.  This is the best CD I have purchased this year.  The songs are very well written, interesting and well peformed.  The guitar playing is top notch. Even the mixing and production is excellant.  From start to finish every song is a keeper.  In fact they are all VERY good.  

This is the best "guitar album" I have heard in a while.  The playing reminds me of Joe Satriani, and how he plays a melodius part through the song that carries the tune the way vocals would.  Combine this with excellant chops,and some progressive ideas and you have 5 minute long instrumentals that are NOT boring like some guitar tunes can be.  

In fact, this CD get's better and better the more I listen too it, which is the "acid test" for me.  To think that one man wrote, performed, recorded, mixed and produced the whole thing is amazing.  It sounds totally professional.  And this is his first try.  Good luck topping this effort Paul, you set the bar pretty high.  But I am sure anxious to hear you try!  

Congratulations Paul, for an OUTSTANDING album.

This CD is fantastic. From the start of Cup a Joe to the last note of One Last Chance. The music is a breath of fresh air for anyone who loves guitar work. This is nothing short of brilliant. I would talk about one particular song, as would normally be the case with any other CD, but each song is equally deserving of high praise. Paul has a unique sense of feel for the music, blending styles from the heaviest of metal rhythms, classical piano and synth work, topped off with well thought out solo guitar work. If you're a fan of Satch, Vai, Malmsteen, Johnson, Petrucci, etc, don't let this CD pass you by. It wouldn't suprise me at all to see Paul Evans playing on the next G3 tour! Yes, it's THAT good.

I first heard Cup o Joe when it was released prior to the completion of the CD. I have been dying for the completed product and I finally got it... and was not disappointed! From the soulful ballad of Waiting for You through the driving rock rhythms of all the rest, each song is loaded with phenomenal melodies that will keep you humming them long after the CD ends (which, by the way, is the only bad thing about Losing Time... it ends!). With most CDs these days you expect two or three good songs, and the rest just fluff. Definitely NOT the case here... This CD is packed with great tunes from start to finish. If you love instrumental guitar rock, this CD will not let you down!
