Evan Williams – Ride On

by Stephan Boissonneault

Sounding a bit like it comes from a reincarnated Johnny Cash mixed with Nick Cave and a dash of Hank Williams III, “Ride On,” is the new single from the Kentish singer-songwriter, Evan Williams. With a gritty new Americana lick and motorik drum precision, “Ride On,” feels like one of those old lost country records as the singer laments about a mythical person lost to history.

The music video also features a blast from the past with the Sinclair C5, the first commercially electric vehicle—basically a go-cart with speed. Williams rides along with his band, in their Sinclair C5s as cuts to a lo-fi film video are interspersed throughout the song.

“Ride On” is a single from Williams’ upcoming record, The View From Halfway Down, out via Peter Doherty’s Strap Originals in April—a coming-of-age record about my stumbling into the first steps into adulthood and pondering about the future. future.
