Album Notes

Kim Barlow is an international touring and recording artist, based in the Yukon. Her first three recordings, Humminah, Gingerbread and Luckyburden were released on the Caribou Records label.

This year, with the help and support of Caribou Records, Kim is releasing a new CD with Jericho Beach Music, based in Vancouver, and the coming year promises to bring her music to an even wider audience.

Kim Barlow’s new recording, Champ, is a collection of earthy, wry allegories about love, death and horses. There is a playful defiance in these songs; a reckoning of lost battles and a Yukon-honed resilience punctuated by moments of unhindered joy.

Champ is spare and humble, balanced by warm harmonies and the low, dark folk-pop brew of Barlow on banjo and guitar, along with collaborator and co-producer Jordy Walker. A spontaneous and intimate energy is revealed in these recordings from the live, woody room at Old Crow Recording studio, in spite of, or maybe because of, the record-breaking cold snap during which the music was made.

Champ

Loved it!  Ok, so I wish I could write songs about these wonderful things that happen in our everyday lives, but I don't.  But Kim Barlow just took those songs right out of my heart and soul, and then sings those songs I wish I had written with just the right accompaniaments and style!  I wish she was my neighbor across the street instead of across the border, but that won't stop us from following her performances.  My new favorite.  Thank you, Kim.

if Great white nothing is an indecation of the direction taken on this album, ide say that kim has struck yet another cord.

I really enjoy listening to this CD. A couple of tracks could have been left out but overall it is very good. I particularly like "Great White Nothing" and "But He Don't".

We spent the afternoon listening to Champ and each time enjoyed it more. We knew that the sound would be wonderful as we could see how perfectly you and Jordy fit together when you were here at the Red Top. Thanks for continuing with your writing and singing Kim.
