![]() Evan Ogden (from the album Undone as a self-release) The audio light that dawns on Undone is a fractured symphony. Tendrils of acoustic sounds are a mist in opening segment “Sam Bass Chronicles 1”, the track a calling card for Evan Ogden as he opens his recent album release, Undone. The title track is a confessional, the past and present colliding as Evan Ogden attempts to untangle the words of parables and folk wisdom as Undone hammers out a beat underneath the questions of “You’ve Got to Wonder” and tenderly picks out notes as “Better Days” sifts through bad decisions looking for a glimmer of hope. Evan Ogden is the narrator for his words as “Everybody Knows Somebody” strums a honky tonk shuffle for a sad story as Undone uncorks a Country ramble for “Jim Beam Bottle” and Front porch Folk wraps around “The Great Speckled Bird”. Within the tales on Undone, Evan Ogden works out demons and desires, reminding that knowing does not remove the past as much as let it in. For his part, Evan Ogden feels that Undone ‘is incredibly personal. There are a number of songs on this record that took me a while to come to terms with. Even though I’ve made peace with many of the them, there are still days where their shadows cast long’. The catharsis of a song helps to tear down the walls in “Thunderstorm” and weathers doubts in “Austin Rain” while Evan Ogden walks “Streets of Las Crucas” plucking border chords as he works on gratitude with “These Songs and a Guitar”.
