After the hazy “Intro” Andy Evans settles into a comfort groove on the title track “Miracle”. The guitar work is fiery and the vocals are strong. A funky sensibility moves the song forward as the keyboard work adds colorful flourishes. Subdued in tone is the quiet introspective work of “Lesson Learned”. Stripped down to the essentials the song is quite affecting. With a nice appropriately evil snarl is the album highlight “Judas” whose tale of betrayal is particularly satisfying. Taking on a jazzy light touch is the smooth languid grooves of “Elemental” whose sound at times is reminiscent of the studied precision of Steely Dan, right down to the clever lyricism. Ending things on an epic note is the swinging work of “Make It” whose blistering guitar work is an absolute pleasure.
The perfect combination of the new and the old, Andy Evans creates a perfect piece of art with “Miracle”.
