About the Artist
Off-stage a black-humoured loner, J Evans is the front man and bandleader who provides the vocals and most of the compositions, arrangements and guitar sounds. A Londoner, he's a hardened old pro of the rock'n'roll scene who can growl, shout or sing as sweet and loud as the song demands. In the early 1990s, he fronted The Business, later renamed Fat City, which successfully rose to the challenge of entertaining rough, tough and boozy audiences with some full-on rock on two German tours. A subsequent one-man show interlude saw the singer-songwriter JJ Evans, as he then called himself, open for Nina Simone at the Albert Hall in 1998. But by 2003 the the Charles Baudelaire of West Hendon wanted back in the rock'n'roll mainstream. It was time to aim high and go for the full works, an album with a complete, commercial rock'n'roll, pop and soul sound. "In the Wild Years" is the result of nearly a year of struggle in putting together the J Evans Band and getting that sound right on record.
Product Description
J Evans and his band have come up with some excellent rock'n'roll, electric blues, power ballads and soul on their new album. Most of it penned by J Evans himself. And in classy arrangements. The title track which opens the album is a beautiful rolling rock ballad. Inspired by J Evans' Paris years, when he was a street musician, In the Wild Years captures both the pathos and the joy of youth. 'Turn Up the Heat', another standout number, closes the album. This haunting song sounds dark, stark, mean and sleazy all at the same time. 'It's a nihilistic eulogy to hedonism,' the author explained. The filling in this tasty retro sandwich of an album, reminiscent of some Bruce Springsteen and Doors material, includes two full-on rockers and a brace of chilling electric blues numbers. There's plenty of piano and Hammond organ too..
