Willow Pillow [self-released, 2024]
Evans is said to be a regular on Atlanta's alt-country scene, about which I know naught else although Atlanta being Atlanta I assume it has some heft to it. But I was instantly attracted to these six eccentric medium-tempo g-b-d love songs, which leads with one where he casts himself as a spider who shot the sheriff in a murder-suicide but the prints don't match and then compares his girl to the Sea of Japan. In the finale he drives her to the airport so she can fly to the aforementioned island nation and then sings about hoping she comes back. He's so goofy and likable you'll hope along with him. A-
