Product Description

Album Description

‘Take Me For A Little While’, ‘I Can't Let Go’, ‘Angel of The Morning,’ ‘Any Way That You Want Me’...the original versions of ALL these classics were, believe it or not, by the same artist; EVIE SANDS! The young girl whom no less than Dusty Springfield called "My favourite singer" and who recorded on such classic rock'n'roll labels as Blue Cat/Red Bird, Cameo-Parkway and A&M!

Starting her career as a singer and songwriter at the tender age of 12, Evie was soon taken under the wing of Chip Taylor, who wrote all the above songs for Evie, only to be cheated of the hit on each occasion (except in Northern Soul circles where she always commanded serious respect!). Then ‘Any Way That You Want Me’ became a monster hit in 1969 - to be followed by this, her only 1960's album; a superb collection of pop/soul, with that magical A&M Sound touch for good measure!

Evie stepped back from performing to concentrate on songwriting; her songs recorded by artists as disparate as Gladys Knight, Dusty Springfield, Barbra Streisand... and more recently Beck and Beth Orton. Today, Evie has returned to recording, making a series of acclaimed records with her old friend Chip Taylor helping out, and featuring on new projects by Brian Wilson and The Wondermints among others!

This is the eagerly anticipated CD release of her classic A&M album "Any Way That You Want Me", chock full of pop-soul gems, with full-on participation from Evie herself; need we say more!

This glorious packages includes tons of rare and unpublished photos, along with highly informative liner notes for the incredible story of this brilliant soul-pop chanteuse.

A must for all fans of the gorgeous A&M SOUND of 1960's pop/soul - FAB!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue-Eyed Soul Masterpiece, 30 Nov 2008
By Mulwharchar (Hereford, UK) - See all my reviews
A previous reviewer has admirably detailed all the background info on Evie Sands' pedigree so suffice to say that if you like mellow pop/soul of the type Dusty Springfield, Laura Nyro, Jackie DeShannon et al were doing in the late 60s, then you'll love this. It's a genuine lost classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars +1/2 -- Soul-singer-songwriter's 1970 LP debut, 22 Nov 2008
By hyperbolium (Earth, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The Brooklyn-born Sands had been in the music industry for nearly a decade before her bad luck lifted for this 1970 LP. She broke in in the early `60s with a pair of forgettable singles before having the good fortune to sign with Leiber & Stoller's Blue Cat label. Unfortunately, her original recording of "Take Me for a Little While" was spirited off to Chicago where it was quickly covered by Jackie Ross. Ross had the hit. Sands' follow-up "I Can't Let Go," much loved by Brill Building and girl-group aficionados met a similar, though less cloak-and-dagger fate, with her version covered more successfully by the Hollies. Her next potential hit, "Angel of the Morning," was lost amid the bankruptcy of Cameo-Parkway, and the now familiar version by Merilee Rush became a top-10 hit. Fans can find Sands' version of "Angel of the Morning" can be found on the superb Cameo-Parkway box set.

In 1969 Sands signed with A&M and was finally in a position to cash in on her deep soul voice and longstanding partnership with songwriter Chip Taylor (who'd penned both "I Can't Let Go" and "Angel of the Morning"). Their initial collaboration was the superb power-soul ballad "Any Way That You Want Me," with Sands beseeching vocal backed by a dynamic arrangement of acoustic guitars, chugging drums, strings and a deft piano figure lifted from the bass riff of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." Though the single only climbed to #53, it was enough to anchor this 1970 LP of pop and soul, with seven songs by Taylor, an original by Sands and a terrific cover of Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Until It's Time For You to Go." Sands' voice is often compared to Dusty Springfield's, as on the tour de force slow-burn remake of "Take Me for a Little While" heard here. But on the Memphis soul "Close Your Eyes, Cross Your Finger," Sands finds an original vocal tone that marries southern gospel with an urban soul sound. That same urban vocal sound, reminiscent of Marilyn McCoo at times, is even more prominent on the ballad "I'll Never Be Along Again."

As memorable as was Sands' upbeat soul belting, she was equally convincing on emotional ballads like "Shadow of the Evening" and "Until It's Time for You to Go." The latter will be a revelation to those who know the song via MOR covers by Vikki Carr, Helen Reddy, Andy Williams and others. Sands could sing with both delicacy and power at the same time, expressing the deep pain of a heart about to be broken. Her wheelhouse, though, is mid-tempo power-soul such as a powerful cover of "I'll Hold Out My Hand" that easily bests The Clique's overwrought interpretation, and gives the Box Tops (with Memphis soul icon Alex Chilton on lead vocal) a run for their money. There are numerous tracks here that should have been singles, and a handful that should have become soul icons in the company of Dusty, Aretha and the rest. With Rev-Ola's reissue (including the bonus track "Maybe Tomorrow"), at least these songs can be icons in your own collection. [©2008 hyperbolium dot com]
