Walter Noons began writing songs after first hearing Bob Dylan. In the intervening years Walter began to understand Al Kooper’s quip about songwriting, “Imitation leads to innovation.” And while Walter’s songwriting will always be indebted to the lyrical artistry of Dylan, he has developed his own unique voice and style through his stylistic evolution that consists of a massive repertoire of assorted love songs, break-up songs, protest songs, pop & power pop numbers, soulful ballads, rockers, blues, Cajun and Reggae inspired numbers, anthems, murder ballads, country laments, rap, jazz, Celtic and Chansons Francaise, European music hall influenced songs, even micro-tonal North African pieces performed on an Oud where he has become adept at his craft. He will often say, “Go to my site at reverbnation.com\walternoons and start listening to NoonsToons” at random. and while you may not like everything that you hear, you’ll be hard-pressed to not find something that you like. Walter is a multi-instrumentalist; he arranges and produces his own unique style of music. Give him a listen. You won’t be disappointed.
