Wreckless Daughter ***1/2

“…a delightful and continually surprising CD…”                     Patrick Langston, Ottawa Citizen

This new collection of 11 songs touches universal themes like love, habitat and human conflict. On the tender title track, ‘wreckless daughter’, Christine’s heart breaks a little. When she mends it, uplifting songs like ‘chickadeesong’ dot the recording. Creating a distinctly indie-folk sound, Dave Draves (Kathleen Edwards, Jim Bryson, Melwood Cutlery, Wooden Stars) co-produced the CD. Draves adds keyboards to the mix of acoustic, electric & slide guitars, bass, harmony vocals and percussion. Go to discs to hear samples and download free MP3’s from previous releases.
