OK, so maybe this isn't the happy song I promised to post next. But Who Am Us Anyway had a post up today about the Hollie's exquisite rendition of Chip Taylor's I Can't Let Go. And that reminded me that it was originally written for Evie Sands. Her slower, blue hot soulful version is one of those "should have been a hit" situations that was not meant to be. A situation echoed in the lyrics, for as uplifting as the music may be, the words describe a passionate love which is just a bit too desperate for its own good.

Evie is performing her amazing rendition of this song LIVE to this very day! I saw her San Francisco in a very intimate venue. She and the band tore it up!
I Can't Let Go indeed!
Hey thanks a lot for the info and introduction to Ms. Sands. I can't believe she did Angel in the Morning first as well! Re B 4's point, I see she's got active Facebook & MySpace pages up & running as well.
Ooooh, smokin'! This broad can sing--love her! Thanks for sharing, Mr. PVS.
Love this! Completely different and completely wonderful.
I checked out some recent live performances by Evie on You-tube and she indeed still has it. Awesome!
