The Kennedys have never been easy to predict -- they've rocked and rolled with Life is Large, and veered into more serene folk-rock with 1998's Angel Fire. And with a tireless tour schedule supporting each release, they've developed a solid fanbase that eagerly awaits each new turn the band takes on their musical journey. Now comes Evolver (a pun on the Beatles' Revolver), which seamlessly blends the group's retro '60s leanings with a clean and modern pop sound. Most of the songs on this album were recorded on the road, in unexpected places like the Hacienda Motel in Roswell, New Mexico, and the Shoneys Inn in Nashville, Tennessee. Along the way, they picked up guest appearances from friends such as Vicky Peterson, Susan Cowsill, Steuart Smith (of Shawn Colvin's band) and Bill Lloyd. The result is 14 shimmering new tracks which showcase not just Maura Kennedy's sweetly soaring voice and Pete Kennedy's incredible guitar talents, but also the band's evolution into a pop force to be reckoned with!
