Album Notes

This is smooth British Columbia bluegrass and more from a fine Vancouver fiddler and singer who's also a longtime member of The Paperboys. Shannon Saunders is a smokey-voiced singer with a Norah Jones-like depth in her voice, and her songwriting and fiddling draw from country, gospel, and Celtic sources as well as traditional bluegrass roots. There's plenty of down-home fiddle, banjo, and high harmonies on this disk, like on the travelling song "See You in the Morning" and "San Juan Worm", a classic breakdown featuring Splinters banjo player Cam Salay, plus some different sounds too, like the traditional "Dark Hollow" arranged as a midtempo shuffle with slide guitar, or the slow, meditative fiddle tune "Bell Housing". Don't worry about getting splinters in your fingers; Cold November is a disk that fans of modern bluegrass will want to grab.

REVIEWS

Sadness and joy, sorrow and hope
author: Chris
This is a wonderful recording full of both sadness and joy, sorrow and hope. Musically it's as brilliant as you'd expect from Shannon Saunders, while the songwriting and vocals are even more powerful than on her previous CD. Looking forward to the next one!

Beautiful songs and nice songwriting
author: Julie
Lead singer Shannon Saunder's voice sounds absolutely great. Her first solo CD the Yellow Book was nice but I am loving her second CD even more because this time we get to hear more of her beautiful vocals. Great musicianship on the record, great songwriting, and great to come home and listen to after a long day at work!!
