The shoes that grace the cover of Orrin Evans' new record are special shoes from his childhood that were necessitated by being born with Neurofibromatosis. The record is called Walk a Mile in My Shoe (Imani Records) and the shoes are a reminder of his condition and the impact that this neurological disorder has had on him. However, Evans yearns to move past the initial metaphor of the title in order to convey the ideas of feeling worthy and taking ownership of his journey. In this episode of LINER NOTES Orrin talks about the music, the musicians, and the music business. This episode contains music from Walk a Mile in My Shoe by Orrin Evans.Tags
