Entertainer Evans Palmer's
News

" RIGGED AND REAdy"   Having family connections to "Sir Francis Drake" and coming from the Canadian Maritimes, it's not surprising that Evans’ recording has somewhat of a nautical theme in its title, album cover and songs. Although all the tunes are not necessarily sea faring, they were chosen to reflect an unfolding story in the album with its characters and their sentiments.

One such song is Evans' own composition, ‘Chinook Breezes’, a song of distinction having a unique quality of its own. Evans plays ‘The Skye Boat Song’ on his Pipes. This is combined with the beautiful Scottish ballad, ‘The Skyline of Skye’ which he sings. Hear ‘Amazing Grace’ with pipes and vocals ending in a Scottish Ceol Mor singing style. The songs have a good duration. The remaining selections are well known such as: ‘Those Were the Days’, ‘The Last Farewell’, ‘The Garden Song’, ‘Farewell to Nova Scotia’, along with ‘A Scottish Soldier’, ‘Danny Boy’, and ‘Edelweiss’. Pleasurable listening is provided by sound samples within the CD sales page.
