George
Canyon - Somebody Wrote Love, Universal
(***
1/2)
A
solid country album from the Maritimes' own George Canyon.
Canyon's deep, resounding voice carries his tunes of life
and love well. Canyon is a family man, and if you haven't
figured that out by now, you will after hearing this.
The
album kicks off with fun country rocker "Time For Goodbye,"
followed by the title track and the sombre "Coming From
You." "Your Smile" is a sweet ballad, and "Drinkin'
Thinkin'" is a funny toe-tapper, likely to be played
just as many times a night at your favourite country bar as
Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar." "Madi's Song
(The Man She Thinks I Am)" is a sweet tune written for
George's daughter.
It's
a mix of fun, upbeat tunes and sombre ballads. If you're a
fan of the current country scene, you'll love this.
