Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

An instrumental album, one fully enveloped by the sound of a creative mind with no reason to embellish his work by the appearance of single inappropriate lyric, is something to behold and admire. It might not find favour with those who can’t live without the thoughts of the musician being mentioned in passing, but for those who find such pieces stirring or are happy enough to wallow in the arms of the edifying release that comes from listening to the inner workings of their own imagination as the sound of a gentle guitar takes them to places unknown, then Steve Garrett’s Even Song is a moment of class.
