Andrew LeDrew’s first CD in 8 years is a real gem. A cohesive album that plays like a good read of short stories many and varied.

‘Fair Winds’ opens with the jaunty ‘Red Skies’, a wistful traditional/pub style number spun with whistle and fiddle and an invitation to come aboard for the ride.

‘Moonlight Over Cupids’ is the prettiest song Andrew has ever written and containing plenty of substance to boot. Beautiful, simple images are painted in the lyrics. Mandolin and fiddle tilt and bend while the accordion carries the melody. Andrew must have felt a lovely calm upon completion of this song about chances, beginnings, and endings. One hears the influence of Ron Hynes’ tender side and classic Elton and Bernie circa 1971-1973. It would fit snugly on ‘Tumbleweed Connection’.

‘Northern Rose’ is a country&western character-sketch song featuring a breezy banjo part dancing midst a rhythmic pop melody.

‘Brookfield Road’ delves into territory mined well by Blue Rodeo, delivering soundly in that style.

‘Random Island’ smacks of the Celtic side of Bruce Springsteen. A storyteller in a pub holding his buddies court with a tragic, heartbreaking take of love, lost, and mortality.

‘Cuckold’s Cove’ reveals a sweet melody, spare production anchored by a lyrical fiddle track complete with a gorgeous chorus awash in accordion.

‘Portuguese Whalers and the Southside Brawlers’ gives us a musical work that sways whimsically in contrast to the lyrical content. Imagine Bernie Taupin lyrics dished out by Springsteen complete with E Street Band vocal stylings.

This 10 song album closes with a subtle anthem. ‘This City’s a Legend’ is a great bookend to the opening track. Andrew sings ‘It’s been burned, it’s been broken into. You can get yourself lost in the mist in a legend like this… or you can find your way back in the arms of this place’.

These songs are about places and folks, changes and pondering thoughts with eyes, ears, and mind wide open. Andrew has matured as a vocalist, substantially more confident and at ease in delivery and approach. Well Done.

Shanneygannock are back and at it again! Another great, upbeat album, featuring the hit title track “Rockin on the Water” and well as many traditional tune and old favorites.

LP version of Hey Rosetta!’s newest release. Comes with a CD version of the album.

In seemingly little time, Hey Rosetta! have cemented their place as one of the most critically acclaimed and vital bands on Canada’s musical landscape. “Seeds”, the band’s third release, gave them their second Polaris Music Prize shortlist nomination and major tours with City and Colour, The Jeezebels, Hot Hot Heat and another with Gomez on the way, make them one of the country’s busiest and hard-working bands. They have literally traveled the globe from China, Australia, Europe to multiple trips across Canada and State-side. The new record is lush and incredibly thoughtful with regards to arrangement and musical scope. One pictures the band meticulously plotting out each note to the point of mental and physical implosion. The result is an anthemic, robust and daring album that stretches the bands ability into a new territory of calibre. Their growth since “Plan Your Escape” has been exponential.

“Tony’s energetic and adventurous spirit shines through his songs with fast Celtic rock that’s awesome for bringing any party or hockey crowd alive. Enjoy beautiful lyrics and melodies for a fine waltz or curl up near the fire with your loved one too!”

Crooked Stovepipe’s newest release is a fantastic collection of live recording made across their carreer and featuring guest appearances from Newfoundland stars such as Ron Hynes, John Lacey, Baxter Wareham and Gordon Quinton, who compliment and augment Crooked Stovepipe’s blend of Newfoundland folk and Bluegrass genres.

The Split Peas are celebrating 20 years of toutons and tunes with a 2 CD career retrospective.

Lloyd Goudie plays rustic country and folk music about a bygone time and way of life.

“Tanglecove is delightful collection of 30 original tunes, played on violin, viola, mandolin, bouzouki and guitar, accompanied by accordion, pennywhistle, bass and percussion. From traditional waltzes, jigs and reel to exotic melodies and rhythms drawn from the musical traditions of Scotland, Ireland, England, Appalachia, Eastern, Europe and Newfoundland, this is an album that will enchant you”

What Dave has to say about his new CD “The music on this recording is my interpretation of some of the traditional jigs, reels, singles, waltzes, hornpipes, and aires of my home, Newfoundland and Labrador.”

Newfoundland’s premier rock group of mid-60s are back on CD!
