NEVER THE SAME – EVIE TORNOUIST – Word WSB 8806

Produced by husband Pelle Karlsson, this LP offers no surprises as Evie delivers an other smooth mellow package. «Special Delivery» and «Home» are excellent MOR tunes and the backing vocals on «Shine» and «Hold On» create catchy toe-tappers. Evie’s popularity guarantees success. [Record World, June 23, 1979 (Gospel Section, Album Picks)]
