Hans Theessink & Terry Evans His Mississippi background shines through
on every note he sings. For a long time we’ve
had a vision to do a stripped down recording
of songs we like – just 2 voices and 2 guitars.
We recorded this album in 2 days and rarely did
more than 2 takes on a song. Finally our visions
materialised – great working with an old friend
and a brother in music.
Enjoy, Hans Theessink
Vienna, January 2008
I would like to thank everyone who had input
in to the making of this beautiful album and
special thanks to Hans for finding the time to
pursue a vision we had some years ago.
His artistry was magnificent.
Keep The Faith, Terry Evans
