      It's such a voyage of rediscovery,isn't it? Been rolling through the 80s at a leisurely pace and was looking forward to this one,like a host of Icicle Works songs,coming up.

    I was watching Ian McNabb solo at the Thunderbolt in Bristol couple of yrs ago. He was so wrecked he could hardly strum the guitar. When he played Evangeline, he forgot the words of the bridge. Being in the front row and singing along, I suddenly found that I was lead vocalist from "I could not believe she was gone..."! When Ian got back into the groove he looked at me & said "great singing". The man is a true legend and so was that night. God bless McNabb!

      @@Timpriestley I can top that- in Birmingham in 2018, he sang this in a mock-Brummie accent as a 'tribute' to Ozzy Osbourne. And yes, he forgot the words then as well [or refused to sing part of them because it was 'unacceptable post Weinstein' or something, and got very belligerent about it] According to the barman, he'd been 'on it' all day since he arrived at 3pm. Worse still, the rest of the set, apart from 'Hollow Horse' 'Fire Inside My Soul' and 'Merseybeast' consisted entirely of badly-sung cover versions. Quite possibly the worst gig I've ever attended...

    I love this Evangaline, and also the one by The Band. Actually considering some of the lyrics, I could imagine The Band singing this. Still the line " A credit to the south" makes me wonder if someone wasn't taking the you know what.
