Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Like many albums of the era - and inclination - The Words In Between was recorded straight to tape in someone's home. Nothing unusual there - the DIY aspect of making records at this time was something of a necessity, rather than an aesthetic - but one has only to look a little further to realize that the sounds Dave Evans relayed to a shiny new Revox were unique. Not just the songs, but the guitar on which he played; every aspect of his sound was of his own design. No small feat during a time when most of his peers had to beg borrow or steal an instrument, just to fulfill their Saturday night slot at the Troubadour. Evans has rightfully earned cult status amongst anyone with an ear for the fingerpicking style of guitar. Even the most cursory glance at his Old Grey Whistle Test session is enough to leave one spellbound - Lou Reed (in the audience at the time) was said to have been completely mesmerized by Evans' phenomenal - yet seemingly effortless - touch. As far as comparisons go, Evans could easily sit alongside the likes of Robbie Basho or John Fahey in terms of technical ability, but the rarity of his talent lies in his gift for melody, which is relayed both instrumentally, and via his sweet Welsh lilt. In a world where it seems as though every guitar LP of the '60s and '70s has been scrutinized within an inch of it's life, The Words In Between might just be that rare thing: a wonderfully arcane gem.
