I still remember the day I personally met Dr David Evans in Barcelona, more than twenty years ago He was manager and member of the Misssissippi Blues Festival together with James Son Thomas, Hezekiah Early and Jessie Mae Hemphill among other musicians He really impressed me with his careful manners, the musical content but specially because he was living for the blues His research on blues field, his record label (High Water) and his countless efforts to preserve blues legacy all over the years deserve all my admiration and respect In this new piece of work Evans deeply involves himself on the real acoustic deep south blues tradition and he even gets back two songs performed on a duo format with his friend Alan Wilson before Alan became member of legendary Canned Heat I have been impressed find a terrific On The Road Again version Only backed by his guitar, David Evans performs some own songs together with versions of Tommy McClennan’s, Sleepy John Estes’ or Big Joe Williams’ songs A delightful record to be taken into account for your blues record collection
