Evergreen
4
BY ROBERT STEELMAN

 

This project marks the fourth album for this Maine-based group. Evergreen consists of Steve Chiasson on guitar on guitar, Chris Prickitt on banjo, Nel Kennedy on bass, and Joe Kennedy on harmonica. This release also includes some excellent guest musicians as well.The album is full of energy and makes good use of the band’s individual talents. Especially impressive is the instrumental Cherokee Shuffle. Joe turns it into a harmonica tour-de-force with some fancy "mouth work." Nel switches over to mandolin on Little Bird Of Heaven, leaving the bass work for hubby Joe. Evergreen is blessed with songwriting talent. Steve Chiasson is credited with Gravy Train and Try Love. Five Geese and Still We Go To War were penned by Chris Prickitt. Overall, this is a very respectable release from Evergreen. They’ve got talent and energy. Hopefully they will be venturing beyond New England very soon. BMP
