  | SPENCER DAVIS ~ SO FAR
EVANGELINE 4123 (Barcode: 805772412323) ~ UK ~ Classic Rock
Recorded: 2006 Released: 2008
This is a solo album by the Welsh vocalist / multi-instrumentalist / bandleader Spencer DavisFind albums by this artist, famous for founding and leading one of the greatest British Pop / Rock groups during the Golden Decade, The Spencer Davis GroupFind albums by this artist, which also included in its original lineup the young (15 years old) Steve WinwoodFind albums by this artist, who later left the group to form the celebrated group TrafficFind albums by this artist. Davis led many incarnations of the Spencer Davis Group over the years, but this is (so far) his last recording.
The album features thirteen original songs, most of which were co-written by Davis and the band members. All the songs are excellent and have a strong nostalgic tinge which makes them sound as if they were recorded way back in the good old 1960s / 1970s. Stylistically the music moves between British Folk, Blues, Rhythm And Blues and Rock and there is not a dull moment on this album from start to finish. The accompanying band consists of seasoned instrumentalists and they do a great job playing these songs as if there´s no tomorrow.
It is hard to guess if this is indeed the very last album by Davis, but if so it certainly is a great way to say goodbye to the numerous fans after over five decades of playing music. People who like the British Classic Rock sound will find here an album they can easily identify with. They don´t make music like that today anymore, or they do it very rarely, like in this case. Strongly recommended!
