Musikälskare och ni som gärna lyssnar till blues. Jag fick ett tråkigt mejl från Hans Theessink och Milica i början av veckan. Så här såg det ut –
Dear musical friends!
Terry Evans passed on.
One of the greatest voices in American music won’t sound no more.
Our friend and colleague Terry Evans went home on the evening train. We’re devastated about his parting but are also thankful that his suffering is over. For several weeks we’ve lit candles and listened to his music, knowing that he was on his way out. Our thoughts are with his son Terry Jr. and the Evans family.
We had a fantastic tour in Europe last September and Terry enjoyed doing what he loved most: singing with heart and soul. Singing with Terry was a powerful experience. He promised to be back for my 70th Birthday Bash in April. This will not be but his soulful voice will always be with us in spirit. His kindship and friendship will always have a very special spot in our hearts.
Hans & Milica
De har spelat och turnerat tillsammans under många år.
Det första album de spelade in var Visions 2008
”Visions brings together two deep blues voices. Hans Theessink, one of Europe’s most respected keepers of the genre, and Terry Evans, whose music carries the heritage of his Mississippi ancestors, connect here like soulmates united by music. The pairing Theessink’s, emotive baritone with Evans’ gospel-colored tenor makes this record one of the year’s best acoustic outings. Recorded over two days in Los Angeles, Visions strips down to only to Theessink’s and Evans’ guitars on five of it’s 13 tunes. The only additions are Phil Bloch’s percussive touches on the remaining tracks and Richard Thompson’s electric guitar on two songs.
The album mixes well-written originals with novel interpretations of American classics.”
– Art Tipaldi, Blues Revue (USA)
Efter ett antal turnéer tillsammans var det dags för nästa album 2012 – Delta Time
”An absolute musical jewel is the best way I can describe the newest Hans Theessink & Terry Evans release, “Delta Time”. ”Delta Time” marks the second collaboration of these immense musical titans who brought every bit of their combined 90+ years of living and playing the blues to the table. Add in the combined experience of Ry Cooder, and the rest of the supporting cast and what we have here is nothing less then a rare musical masterpiece, one that has quickly climbed the ladder as one of 2012′s best releases. I have no problem enthusiastically giving “Delta Time” my highest rating of 5 Stars”
– John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network (Canada) — 2012-10
Den senaste och så klart också den sista tillsammans var live albumet True & Blue, 2015.
Albumet är inspelat på en Jazz Klubb i Wien och man kan från första ackordet höra att de har roligt och trivs tillsammans. Deras röster och instrument sammanvävs till en helhet. Bluesen presenteras naket och intimt till en publik som njuter av varje ögonblick. Detta är live och blues när den är som bäst.
