| "Generally, new acts are advised to avoid cover versions of well-known songs, as they can merely expose an act’s limitations and lack of creativity, but occasionally along comes one that makes the risk all the more worthwhile. So step up to the plate Lowri Evans. On her admirable album Kick The Sand Evans has a stunningly intimate version of U2’s ‘With Or Without You’ with just her voice, guitar and cello. But it’s not that she can’t write herself, as all the other songs are her own. There’s the sassily slinky ‘I Can’t Decide’, as well as the equally beguiling ‘Not At Maria’s’. She’s given excellent support from co-producer Lee Mason on guitar, and in his and Wyn Jones’ uncluttered production her warm and expressive voice reaches the parts of you most other singers don’t".
