Corb Lund

If you're reading this for clues, I have to almost assume you don't know that Corb Lund pleases large crowds on several continents, that his songs are thoughtful and deliberate and full of the nouns describing our actual surroundings, unique to a land of fluke prosperity that allows for a massive, sensitive artist class thriving in our redneck midst.

Kurt Ciesla plays the echoey standup bass with proud, scary mastery, while Winnipeg's Grant Siemens is a natural wizard of the hillybilly instruments: banjo, slide, etc. He and drummer Brady Valgardson, also a native of Lund's Taber, party hard, play with similar intensity. It's a sight.

As has been written elsewhere, Lund appreciates old world country, remembering its humour and darkness, drinking to its diminishing pantheon of living heroes.
