Bob Evans

Like the Leaving Home superhero, it’s comforting to have him around.

It’s a pitch-perfect and incredibly professional show, from a charismatic and talented songwriter, and the sighing crowd leave contented.

"The familiar stranger I guess is myself, but I also liked it because on another level it kind of relates to the music."

Some of the later tracks, like the almost six-minute From Ourselves, seem to plod a little, but this is a minor gripe for what’s otherwise a great leap forward.

A whole lot of love has gone into this album, and it shows on every track.

The singer-songwriter goes out in support of Familiar Stranger.

It was Bob Evans.
