Rewind by Paul K. Hanson

"Rewind" invites listeners to journey back to the origins of Paul Kent Hanson's musical inspirations. This collection of songs serves as a time capsule, capturing the essence of a young songwriter's dreams and the transformative experiences that followed.

Paul's musical journey began in Minneapolis, where his talent was recognized at the tender age of 19. Yet, life had other plans, and as he ventured to California, the demands of family life took precedence, placing his songwriting on hold. Now, after a lengthy hiatus, Paul revisits his early lyrics, breathing new life into them with revisions and completions that resonate with both nostalgia and newfound wisdom.

The collection draws heavily from Paul's adventurous spirit, notably his remarkable 800-mile bicycle ride from Minneapolis to the Colorado Rockies in 8 days. This odyssey is woven into the fabric of his lyrics, offering a vivid portrayal of the landscapes and introspections encountered along the way.

Additionally, the farm fields of southern Wisconsin, where Paul spent his formative years, provide a rich backdrop for other tracks, infusing them with authenticity and heart.

Upon reaching California, love sparked a new era of creativity, inspiring songs that reflect the joys and challenges of a life shared with someone special.

This blend of past and present, of youthful dreams and mature reflections, aims to resonate with listeners, inviting them to "Rewind" and relive their own cherished memories through music.
Just like those favorite tracks you once played on repeat, we hope you find new favorites in this collection—songs that you'll want to rewind and replay time and again.
