Born in Mexico City, when she was only a little child Evelyn Rubio began act as singer, dancer and actress in children’s television programs When she grew up, she was casted to perform the role of Mary Magdalene in a Canadian production of Jesus Christ Superstar It was around this time she discovered and was caught by blues, soul, Americana music, jazz and rhythm and blues, and she also started to play sax Since that moment she focused her career on those musical styles, working for a long time in Calvin Owens’ Orchestra, who had been BB King’s band leader and trumpet player Produced by Grammy Award winner Larry Fulcher, this album establishes Evelyn Rubio as one of today’s most prominent and remarkable voices Twelve songs plus three bonus tracks is what you will find in this new recording, basically filled with Latin, pop, rock and blues music sung in English and Spanish with a fine result in both languages She is also backed by a list of powerful well matched instrumentalists where you will find musicians coming from The Phantom Blues Band or musicians like Etta James’ guitar player John Sinclair or David Grissom among others, as well as some studio musicians, plus Evelyn’s impressive tenor sax The result is an amazing very cool album, with a really tasteful and careful final production
