Search - Dave Evans and River Bend :: The Best of the Vetco Years

Dave Evans burst onto the Bluegrass scene in 1979 with the release of Dave Evans and River Bend quickly followed by Call Me Long Gone, both recorded for the small Cincinnati-based Vetco Records. Evans was known in southern Ohio as an ace banjo player for both Larry Sparks and The Boys From Indiana among others, but his first recordings on his own introduced a unique, powerful,
and soulful voice that created an immediate buzz in the Bluegrass world.

This new release, combining the best of those first two albums, includes his unmatched versions of 99 Years, From Life's Other Side, and Barbara Allen and gives the listener a look into the past of one of the true giants of traditional Bluegrass music.
