As if this song could get any better…
Four years ago this week, Gabe Lee released his first ever single “Eveline,” and in honor of the milestone, he just put out a reimagined version of the fan-favorite.
With a driving banjo, some beautiful fiddle and a really bluegrass-leaning production, this new version feels a little more upbeat and fuller than the first.
Of the reimagined version, Gabe says he wanted to bring it back to life some, so to speak, and maybe give it a new perspective and meaning in some way:
“’Eveline’ is a sweet song, but a regretful one too, harping on what it feels like looking in the rearview at things you wish you hadn’t left behind.
Originally released over 4 years ago, this newer and glowed up version brings the roughhewn landscape of pawnshops, starved love, and lost gambles brilliantly back to life.”
Recorded at the at the famous Sound Emporium in Nashville, I don’t know which version I love more, but I sure am happy to have both:
And the original “Eveline”:
Gabe is currently out on a run of spring tour dates, and released a brand new music video for his song “Buffalo Road,” from his fantastic 2022 The Hometown Kid album, in January.
