Product Description

Album Description

In the mid-seventies, Evie had two top 30 hits for Capitol Records before giving up her dream of becoming a star in her own right, devoting her creative energies to songwriting, penning tunes for artists such as Barbara Streisand, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, Cher and Dusty Springfield. Evie Sands had become frustrated with the vagaries of the music industry, and stayed out of the spotlight until a chance encounter with Chip Taylor in 1996. Taylor was playing a comeback tour and invited Evie onstage at a Los Angeles club, where the two performers delighted the crowd with still vibrant versions of the songs they had recorded earlier. Their reunion was so successful that they decided to get back together with Al Gorgoni (and producer Tommy Spurlock) to write and record a new album. Evie's long awaited album, Women In Prison, was written and recorded n only a few short weeks. It is a brilliant collection that combines blues, swampy rock, and country soul, and recaptures the magic they had shared before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like E.S. herself, this is a rare and hidden treasure, 22 Jan 2009
By S. Chelydra (in London exile) - See all my reviews
As with a symphony, and other great pop albums, you can't really hear this album in 30-second samples, or even in separate songs. But after you hear it all the way through once or twice, and it starts to sink in, you'll be listening to nothing else for a long time.

Evie Sands graduated with highest honours from the School of Hard Knocks (you can read all the gory details of her famously bad luck elsewhere on the web) -- and she poured all she'd learned into this masterpiece, composing and recording all these songs in a white-hot couple of weeks after an encounter with her old mentor Chip Taylor made her believe in herself again after her once-almost-stellar career had been dormant for years.

Amazingly enough, this album became yet another sad learning experience (post-doctorate?) due to zero promotion and airplay. It's only now through the internet grapevine that it may finally start to reach a fraction of audience it deserves. If enough of you buy it and post your own rave reviews, maybe she can even be persuaded to go back to the recording studio.

Dusty Springfield said Evie Sands was her favorite singer. Her voice was already great when she started out, at about twelve, in the 1960s (she now looks about thirty) but now there's another dimension of warmth, wisdom, humility, raw honesty and maturity.
