About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Alberta, Canada, native Corb Lund arrives with a disc hailed as Album of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association. The land figures prominently in Lund's songs, and his vivid evocations of man in and against nature, along with his character-driven stories, evoke the Texas singer-songwriter tradition -- or suggest a new tradition based further north. With a history in farming, ranching, and rodeo, Lund comes by his artistic conceit honestly. Like George Strait, he is a credible cowpoke who lets the life into his music. Strait is an interpreter, not a writer, but he would surely appreciate and recognize the calamity memorialized in Lund's sprightly, wry talking blues, "The Truck Got Stuck" (yes, a talking blues, properly ensconced on an album featuring a Ramblin' Jack Elliott guest spot), concerning all the dire personal traumas accruing from a truck getting bogged down in mud on the plains. Strait would most surely feel a pang from Lund's winsome, autumnal ode to a season's close in "The Rodeo's Over," which features a resonant guest vocal by singer-songwriter legend Ian Tyson (Canada's Guy Clark), and a decidedly Old West atmosphere supplied by Stuart Duncan's atmospheric fiddling and Grant Siemens' poignant gut-string guitar interjections. He offers up a twangy trucking song ("Hurtin' Albertans"); a snarling, pedal steel-rich rocker, "Good Copenhagen," which extols the virtues of tobacco over "bad cocaine"; and throughout demonstrates a novelist's eye for the telling detail. Produced by the formidable Harry Stinson, Corb Lund's ready for a long ride. David McGee, Barnes & Noble
