Michael Jonathon has another album titled Evening Song from 2006, but the song selection is somewhat different.

Reviewed by: Kim Walter, April 2018
Nice, clear vocals highlight this album full of interesting string dominant music. Not your usual country music here! Parts reminded me of some of the gypsy swing I’ve heard. I really didn’t think I’d like it, but I did, especially 4,7,9,11.

*1. 3:20 Slow/Med - Prominent bang in evocative lg band saddle music. smart, professional, pleasant
*2. Med - Upbeat country tune, about Sundays. You really hear all of the different strings
*3. Slow/Med - Story about NYC, really nice strings and hans
**4. Slow - honky-tonk style lyrics with Jazzy string backing - excellent jam
*5. Slow - Nice dramatic western love song
6. Slow - Feels like it should be a pivotal moment in a movie soundtrack. Vaguely spiritual feel
**7. Med - Great intro with springy instrument (Dobro?), song has traditional folk roots
*8. Story about a gambler, very nice accent strings in background
**9. Slow/Med - liv eversion in the troubadour tradition
10. Med - this song on title troubador is actually less troubadour-like than #9, but it’s still nice
**11. Med - I think I liked it from the first note, dramatic and gentle, interesting melange of styles
12. Med - Same vibe as #11, gentle reverent
