4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting Recreation!,
By deepbluereview "deepbluereview" (SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Match Box Blues (Audio CD)
It's hard to know just what to make of this CD. On first listen, I was not very impressed but after a while, it does tend to grow on you. Evan's is a bluesologist who, through his studies, felt that the Country Down Home music of Bubka White, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Son House and Charlie Patton was becoming a lost art. So, Evans set out to record these tunes recreating the sound of these individuals and hoping to reintroduce the music to a new generation. One thing for sure, after listening to the CD it is evident that Evan's achieved at least one of his goals in that the sound and tonal qualities certainly sound authentic. Whether he can entice enough people to return to the rootsy, folksy, jug band, Country blues of yesteryear remains to be seen. The disc gets four stars for Evan's authentic recreation of an ancient period put gets only three for ability to hold a listener's attention throughout. Best cuts are Evan's own "Aunt Caroline Dye Blues" and "Big Road Blues".
