Joe Egan
Out of Nowhere (Vinyl Reissue)
Review by Gary Hill
This is a classy new vinyl reissue of the 1979 solo debut from Joe Egan. It’s a limited edition of only 1,000 copies and is pressed on 180 gram white vinyl. Egan was part of Stealers Wheel along with Gerry Rafferty. While Rafferty’s solo work seemed to have a bit more jazz built into it at times, this album from Egan is set heavily in folk rock. It’s quite an effective set of tunes, and this is great stuff.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2016 Volume 3 at lulu.com/strangesound.
