Information/Write-up
A blend of folk, rock, country and pop from 3 of Western Canada's most unique and well-loved singer-songwriters. No overdubs: guitars, violin, piano, mandolin, & dulcimer live off the studio floor--simply acoustic, simply amazing voices and musicianship.
Opening with the scat-laced fan fave "When I Sing," a Henderson composition, and working through Forbes' up-tempo "Keep Lightin' That Fire," and Ulrich's moving "House Up On the Hill, the record was a critical success.
"It's a wonderful balance," Henderson has said of the group. "I find some neat mysteries in it. One of them is how we get the vocal blend we do. I would never have expected that to work. But it just did, an amazing surprise."
For his part, Forbes considers his and Henderson's driving guitar work an integral part of the mix.
"The twin guitar attack that Bill and I have is really developing...and with Shari in the middle playing fiddle and mandolin...we're pulling things out of each other. It's a powerful force."
