Sam Evian has returned with a glorious cover of Gerry Rafferty's "Right Down the Line".
The original track was releeased in 1978 by Scotland's Gerry Rafferty.
Speaking about his choice of song, Evian explained, "At the end of the You, Forever recording session, we had a little room left at the end of the tape reel so we decided to do a cover. "Right Down the Line" is one of my favorite songs and I covered it because I wanted to learn how to sing all those harmonies on the chorus."
"Right Down the Line" is Evian's first release since March's "Cherry Tree" and "Roses" singles.
Sam Evian's version of "Right Down the Line" is out now. He plays The Lexington in London on 27 August, and will perform at End Of The Road Festival the same week. Find out more.
