Reviewed by Tony May

Really, you might call this reissue of tracks from the veteran Scandinavian singer (very big in the 70s) the very essence of the MOR genre. 21 totally undemanding ditties given the most straightforward of renderings by a pleasant, warm, friendly voice. Backing is suitably simple, sometimes sort of country, otherwise with smooth orchestral support or gentle acoustic trimming. Evie now qualifies for a veteran tag, having started singing at an early age. The hallmark of this collection is "believability", the artist's experience, commitment and sincerity combining to give a convincing presentation. Some tracks, such as "Broken Up People", have a dated, weary pop sound, and there's a lack of sparkle in the arrangements department too often for comfort. So not a bad offering this, plenty that will please nostalgists remembering Evie Karlson's reign as one of early Christian music's most popular artists but just don't expect great music!

I am looking for the complete words, track or sheet music to Shepherds Prayer (or move me closer). I am not sure of the actual title. Please help someone.

Can you tell me how I can get a copy of the sound track for The Shepherd's Song, Move me Closer to the Child? I see others have asked but I didn't see any reply to their requests.

Hi I am looking for the lyrics for Special Delivery and where can we get the track music for Evie's songs?

Never was anyone like Him, never will one be the same
Tiny babe, an Infant King, Savior, we worship and honor the power of His name

Chorus:
He came special delivery, wrapped up in love, bound by a promise, sealed by a dove
And filled with the spirit, carried by grace, you knew where He was goin', by the look on His face

Verse:
Where He went, Love was there also, where He was , Love showed the way
Those who saw, knew He was holy, and I see what they saw to this very day

Chorus:

(key change)
Verse:
And when I'm called I will go gladly, I will not grieve for the past
For I know where I'll be going, and I will be going to see Him at last

Chorus:
I'm goin' special delivery, wrapped up in love, bound by a promise, sealed by a dove
And filled with the spirit, carried by grace, you know where I am goin', by the look on my face

(key change)
Repeat Chorus:

Tag:
By the look on my face! Oh, yeah!

Is there any way that I can get Evie's music that she sang in an accompainment cassette or cd accompainment? I love her music and would love to be able to have many of her songs to sing in Church. Thank you for responding to this question. Sincerely, Sandie

A friend of mine would really love an accompaniment CD to Evie's "Move Me Closer". She would love to sing it in church this month. If anyone can find that version, that would be much appreciated.
