Gjsedalringen - Traditional Music from Norway - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 . In the late aughts, Kathleen Edwards' career was on the rise and her four studio albums had received critical acclaim; she garnered Polaris Prize nominations, a SOCAN Songwriting prize win, and several Juno nominations. But amid this success she stepped back from the music industry and started a coffee shop outside of Ottawa called Quitters, a successful small business she ran for over a decade. Now, she's releasing album number five, just as a global pandemic has forced her to shut down the coffee shop and furlough the workers who became like family. Total Freedom, self-produced alongside Jim Bryson and Grammy winner Ian Fitchuk, opens a door to her view of life as it is now, with all it's wonderful complications.

Charming and elegant Swedish folk tunes played in a style that could be described as a kind of 'chamber folk music,' in a rare combination of 5-row freebass accordion, violin and 5-string cello.
