about

To record this, I wanted a 60s folk-rock sound, and the great Nashville session player, Rory Hoffman, supplies it so nicely on the electric 12-string guitar. For drums, my Nashville producer, Dave Martin, said, "I'll get Bob Mater -- he used to play with the Everly Brothers." I said, "oh well, I guess he'll have to do!"

lyrics

IT'S A MYSTERY
Music & Lyrics © 2015 Paul Washington

A twist of fate, a lucky break, serendipity
Just one look, that's all it took -- it's a mystery

Strange but true I fell for you, stranger you fell for me
I wracked my brain, but I can't explain -- it's a mystery

What are the chances trading glances
Was in the cards that day?
Tragic turned to magic in the most peculiar ways

Accidents, coincidence, makes no sense to me
Maybe our signs and the planets aligned -- it's a mystery

What are the chances trading glances
Was in the cards that day?
Tragic turned to magic in extraordinary ways

Strange but true I fell for you, stranger you fell for me
I wracked my brain but I can't explain, it's a mystery

about

Paul Washington Mill Bay, British Columbia

Paul Washington's songs have swinging rhythms, smart lyrics, delivered in a unique vocal style. He mixes vintage country and rock'n'roll with the great sounds of western swing.
“It was déjà vu when I realized I first heard swing music at my mother's knee. She used to sing in the big band days and that put that music in my DNA. This CD was a tribute to her -- that’s why I put her on the cover.”
