MARY EVANS:
Happy With Jesus Alone
Mary Emma Evans has been compared to Ethel Waters and Mahalia Jackson. When she sings, she goes into a deep, meditative place. “The way I’m feeling is the way I sing,” she says. Mary clearly brings all of her self -- her childhood, her cultural heritage, the many challenges she has faced as a female pastor, and the long love of her husband and family -- into this very powerful praise music.
Evans grew up on a farm in North Carolina, the youngest of nine children. Today Mary Evans has finally realized a dream with this recording. She has long been widely known in the northern Piedmont region of North Carolina as an outstanding preacher and a special minister to the marginalized. Most recently Pastor Evans was elected to the Henderson, NC City Council where her work for social justice has found a new arena.
Produced by Mark Williams and Georgann Eubanks with the remarkable musical performances and arrangements of Richard Putnam.
