Album Notes

Multiple Juno Award winner Bill Bourne has received international acclaim for his recordings and live performances. While the traditional image of a spiritual seeker does not usually conjure top hat, boots, shades and a Gibson flattop, like any living tradition, it's open to change. A mainstay on the international roots scene, a life on the road is reflected in Bill's music - powerful rhythms and soulful songs, steeped in Cajun, Celtic, World Beat, Blues and more...

The communication between Bill and Shannon makes for a sound that comes across as effortless but one that completely commands the attention of the listener.

Bourne’s songs are finely observed and he sings with a rough-edged warmth, but it’s the richness of Johnson’s fiddling-jumpy and lively , sweet and sad-that set’s the duo apart from the crowd.
