This extraordinary first CD by Evan Eleven (Little Boy Blue) presents the best in contemporary protest and “topical” songs and then some. The lineage may trace to works by Joe Hill, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Woody Guthrie and others but presentations have been reimagined in both unique interpretations of original styles and new songs, establishing LBB as a brilliant, new artist. Phil Ochs once commented that “in these troubled times the true protest is beauty”. And if that’s true, then Evan Eleven has reached a high artistic plateau which is not an end but a starting point for his forthcoming creative accomplishments that we cannot yet know. But we can anticipate the next CD and live performances. Meanwhile, this excellent CD is well worth a long listen and will not disappoint.

From the opening, Boy Blue had me hooked, singing along to his death jig about Bush. Every song is different and full of suprises, that kept me listening. Radical,inspirational lyrics and great beats.Give me more Little Boy Blue!
