Women In Prison

This album is 10 times better than DUSTY IN MEMPHIS. And that album is beyond her peers...............you do the math. 10 years later this album still smokes and sneers.....Women in Prison indeed. Come on.....and 'get' EVIE SANDS!!!!!!!!

Probably never in history has there been such a drastic disconnection between the kind of recognition an artist has earned (many times over!) and the kind of recognition she's actually ended up with. Maybe the appearance of this album on ITunes will be the turning point — but only if you buy it. (Now!) I expect people will be listening to Evie Sands' music in fifty or a hundred years, but why wait? This is the kind of album that not only grows on you, it grows inside you. Thirty-second samples, even individual songs, aren't enough to get the effect. Get the whole thing and let it sink in. I found her painfully naive sincerity grated on my nerves a bit around the third hearing, but by the fourth or fifth hearing, that's exactly the quality I was craving. For about a month, I couldn't listen to anyone else.

I thought I'd never hear another album from Evie Sands. I wish they'd re-release some of her old albums like Evie Sands- Estate of Mind. With songs like- "One thing on my mind", "Yesterday Can't Hurt Me", and "Love in the Afternoon". I think she's had a cult following since the 60's or 70's but seems that her popularity never caught up with her true talent.
