This is a release that is a sheer pleasure to listen to, and you can hear the pleasure these three lengendary musicians find in playing with one another. There is a sense of mutual appreciation, encouragement and camaraderie, that lends well, audibly, to the musical chemistry In trademark BARK style this is a freewheeling collection of roots-groovy, bluesy, alt-country surf-jazz songs that defy pigeonholing. Great playing and appealing vocals make repeated listening a delight to the syngergistic third such album collaboration between the legendary award winning Colin Linden, Stephen Fearing and Tom Wilson.

hey, i just noticed that the maple music newsletter has been suddenly falling into the spam folder in my e-mail account and disappearing before i read it.

oooooh la la, what have i missed???

where'd you get your first violet archers album?

where will you get the second?

Someone please remind me again about the Nick Lowe story?

He like stopped opening his Socan cheques because they were always for $.44 or $.77 a nickle or a dime or whatever. And then one day, he's going thru all this mail and finds a cheque big enough to go out and buy a house that afternoon. Isn't that how it went?

what i liked about thursday nite's second act was the song where the cute-truly-valued-add chick and the even more fully multi-instrumentalist main perhaps songwriter guy, was their number where they banged, jumping also, on that black shiny drum. the song was about not having time to argue i think.

nate's set was of course also great. and, his parents were there!

elvis costello said "you get 20 years to write your first album and six months to write your second"

further more, many women would argue that's too optimistic, being sure to mention that career longevity has always also been more elusive for female performers than their male counterparts. but women who steer their own careers, navigating each bump and curve themselves last longer (vs. buring hot and out)...
