The Lemonheads - Come on Feel the Lemonheads (LP)

In the '90s Evan's Lemonheads produced hit after a hit, a string of super cool singles: Big Gay Heart, Into Your Arms, It's About Time and The Great Big NO. Pure genius filling the radio waves and taking the stage... Some 30 years on; Evan is still knocking that songwriting thing out of the park and Come on Feel the Lemonheads sounds as fresh and perky as it ever did. Amid the hits on the original record are stencils and outlines for yet more magical music, and now this deluxe edition adds a second disc of demos and acoustic versions, plus a host of one-offs from sessions and compilations that add further colour to the myth and how it was created.

There's the in-demand combo lovingly covering Victoria Williams' Frying Pan from her Sweet Relief album, which is joined by an eclectic set of flipsides and outtakes, like their version of original garage punk nugget Little Black Egg by The Nightcrawlers, Evan's homage to Gram Parsons on the winsome Streets of Baltimore and Buddy Holly's melancholy Learning the Game. Evan knows a good song when he hears it, as Come on Feel the Lemonheads certainly proved.
