John Evans Band on My Texas Music
The John Evans Band has won a few awards. A few? So many, in fact, that I just can?t name them all here for fear I might miss one. I?m not one for saying that any act is the definitive example of anything, but The John Evans Band defines ?Rock-a-billy? perfectly. Every song is a tribute to living life in a jovial fashion and expressing yourself. Evans himself is the lead bard, co-writing one tune with Jack Saunders on ?OUT OF CONTROL? (Underdog) and conspiring sparsely with others on ?BIGGEST FOOL IN TOWN? (Shakeabush). John Evans? voice is suited for the studio or the stage as he can be the equal of Elvis, Buddy, or Jerry Lee at any moment. Humble to the end, Evans is quick to showcase his band with each arrangement, often providing two rides per song just to allow for extra instrumental work. It pays off, too, as each song becomes a suite of powerful lyrics, masterful orchestration, and relentless entertainment. Evans' 2004 release "CIRCLING THE DRAIN" is a continuation of John's great musical talent. Evans leans toward the rockier side of his vast influences on this album while retaining the underlying classical John Evans feel. The album employs more of the slick tools available in the studio to give you a professional CD that captures the very heart of John's artistic genius. The packaging doesn't really tell you what's inside, but once you cue up the disc, you won't be disappointed. There?s even an interface for an online interactive feature that, at press time, had not been set up yet. The John Evans Band helps the cause of Texas music by laying a solid foundation of excellent original material and expert musicianship, all wrapped in a neat, sincere, and marketable package The John Evans Band has won a few awards.
