Timothy Evans, Dagrau

Since the release of his last album, Timothy Evans has lost the one who was his constant companion throughout his singing career. The title track on this new CD is an adaptation of Eric Clapton’s “Tears in heaven”, with the words by Meryl George, Timothy’s sister, and they dedicate the song to the memory of their beloved mother.

5 other brand new tracks are heard on this collection, together with some of his mother’s personal favourites from among Timothy’s previous recordings. Together, they form the most comprehensive song selection ever released by Timothy, an excellent combination of classic covers and songs from many lands and many languages, and a mix of religious and patriotic songs. This album therefore affords us another opportunity to appreciate one of the most unique lyric tenor voices of our time.

Ers iddo gyhoeddi ei albym ddiwethaf, mae Timothy wedi colli’r un a fu’n gefn iddo gydol ei fywyd, a’r un oedd yn mynd gydag ef i bob cyngerdd ledled Cymru. Mae’r brif gân ar y CD yma yn addasiad o gân Eric Clapton “Tears in heaven”, a’r geiriau gan Meryl George, chwaer Timothy, a chyflwynir hi gan y ddau er cof annwyl am eu mam.

Clywir yma hefyd 5 o ganeuon eraill sydd wedi eu recordio am y tro cyntaf gan Timothy, ac ychwanegwyd atynt rai o ffefrynnau ei fam, gan wneud hwn yn gasgliad addas iawn i gofio amdani. Dyma’r casgliad mwyaf amrywiol a gyhoeddwyd ganddo erioed – yn gyfuniad o addasiadau o ganeuon o sawl gwlad a sawl iaith, o ganeuon crefyddol a gwladgarol, a chlasuron poblogaidd cyfoes. Mae’n cynnwys hefyd y gân hyfryd sydd wedi tyfu dros y blynyddoedd yn un o brif ffefrynnau gwrandawyr radio Cymraeg, “Kara, Kara”.
