Description:
Co-founder of the Juno Award winning group The Wailin Jennys, Cara Luft has returned to her solo roots. Assembling a cast of characters from some of Canadas top folk and rock groups - including producer Neil Osborne (54-40), multi-instrumentalist Hugh McMillan (Spirit of the West, James Keelaghan), violist/fiddler Richard Moody (The Bills), Winnipeg session drummer/percussionist Christian Dugas (Madrigaia, Alana Levandoski), and mixer Warne Livesey (Midnight Oil, The The). Caras new album is a cornucopia of sonic delight. A bit of Carole King meets early Zeppelin with a dash of Sigur Ros, and songs ranging from country (`Theres a Train`) to folk (`Wilcox`), roots rock (`Falling Away`) and traditional (`Black Water Side`), with a modern spiritual (`Jerusalem`), this is an album replete with deft musicianship and sensitive, effective arrangements. Her original songs are underpinned and anchored by finely honed evocative lyrics. (Black Hen)
