British country music at its best - buy this album!
author: Iain Dobie
Evangeline's long awaited CD is now released and it was worth the wait! 14 original tracks showcasing the songwriting talent of the band... all co-written by John Naismith and Willie Evans with input from other members on certain tracks. The musicians excel throughout the album especially Davie Holland on steel and John Permenter on fiddle. A good well produced country album, the vocals never drowned out by the musicians. I could not pick out any track as a favourite, as all are excellent. Evangeline rock on "Fightin' For My Eight Cents"; you can feel the pain of lost love and solace sought in "Drink and Cocaine"; on "Run With The Devil", Evangeline create the Celtic Cajun Country Stomp! Great fiddle, strong vocals and an energetic track. "Dirty Cheatin' Man" is a traditonal cheating Western Swing number. As a bonus we get to hear Willie Evans sing his tribute to Harlan Howard -"03/03/02" If you want to hear British country music at its best, buy this album!"

The long awaited CD from Scotland's 'Evangeline' is now out! WOW! It was well worth waiting for, make sure you get a copy!! Lead singer George Adams makes a great job of all the songs and top fiddle player John Permenter has added his touch. Special mention must go to Davie Holland, surely one of the best steelies around today (and, of course, the newest member of the band!) All the songs were written by the members of the band, including manager Willie Evans. Well done guys! You really should contact the band's manager Willie Evans to find out how to get your copy, I promise you - you won’t regret it!

I'm not a big country fan, but know a couple of the artists from my time in Glasgow area in mid-80's. I live in Texas, where Country is king, and I tend to gravitate to modern country. This album had a nice range, excellent musicians, and good new songs. My personal favorites were Flying On the wings...; Fightin' for my eight cents, and Run with the devil. I'll buy their next, for sure!
