Product Description

Dave Evans manages to take a slew of diverse influences, from blues to rock to jazz and meld them into a style that never seems disconnected. His pieces are frequently lyrical and whimsical, from the playful "Chaplinesque" to the unconventional "Morocco John." "Stagefright" is the rare long guitar instrumental that never wears thin, and "Jessica" foreshadows the ambling musing of new age guitarists a decade later (yet in a much more interesting way.) There are nineteen songs here, all of which demonstrate the vast range of possibilities for folk guitarists to explore. – David Rickert/allaboutjazz.com

Dave Evans was certainly one of the most original of original guitar stylists. – Duck Baker

The British guitarist Dave Evans, was a real dazzler of a fingerpicker. He had been recording since the early 1970s. His first entirely instrumental album was released in 1974. Entitled Sad Pig Dance, it might have attracted only farmers and policemen's ball attendees, but nonetheless managed to do a great deal to set up Evans' reputation in a somewhat crowded genre. This player's compositions, particularly his harmonic frameworks, are quite different than better-known players such as John Renbourn or Bert Jansch; he sometimes sounds as if he is playing all of their guitars at once. What he is actually playing is a guitar he built himself, so any and all compliments for this unmistakably cavernous sound should go to Evans himself.  – Eugene Chadbourne
