About this product

For fans of Roxanne Potvin, the Juno award nominated Montreal based singer/songwriter, two years might seem like an unbearably long time between albums, but just one spin through the songs on 'Play' will be more than enough to convince them that it's been worth the wait. Back in 2009, after wailing around the blues for her past four albums - a journey that saw her work with luminaries such as Colin Linden, John Hiatt and Bruce Cockburn and tour with Sue Foley and Deborah Coleman - Roxanne decided it was time to pull back and reassess what she'd been doing. She explains, InchI'd left Toronto, my record company, manager and I had parted ways and I was truly starting again. I'd moved back to Montreal to be closer to my family and began to accept the fact that I had no clue what I was going to do.Inch At first, she felt boxed in by her own expectations, but once she managed to shake free of them and started to enjoy playing music for the simple joy of it again, magical things began to happen. InchWhen I started out, I was heavily influenced by blues, soul and R and B and that was reflected on my first two albums. The third album started showing shifts in direction as I explored further. I love listening to that kind of music, but if I was still only writing blues based songs, I wouldn't be honest with myself because that's not exclusively where I'm at anymore. Writing for this album gave me confidence to do something different.Inch Potvin continues, InchI had been listening to all different types of music and learning to approach writing as a discipline. I found myself going back to the Beatles and Beck. They were so great at writing songs like 'Happiness is a warm Gun' with bizarre imagery and word associations.Inch Taking a cue from these artists, the cinematic film noir narrative of InchCoral Reef FishesInch and the poignant reminiscence of InchSea ShellsInch are both

To describe Canadian blues songstress Roxanne Potvin is much like writing the list of ingredients for baking a cake. Start with a large portion of blues, add some rock n' roll, a dash of jazz and then just a pinch of country and folk and you get Roxanne. Refreshing and unique but genuine to the music she plays. Only 23 years old, Roxanne has created quite a buzz in the music industry with her sound. Her debut album, THE WAY IT FEELS also attracted some impressive artists to collaborate with, including John Hiatt and Daniel Lanois. Album Tracks 1. A Love That's Simple 2. I Want to (Do Everything for You) 3. Hurting Child 4. Caught Up 5. La Merveille 6. While I Wait for You 7. Your Love Keeps Working on Me 8. Say It 9. Don't Pay Attention 10. Sweet Thoughts of You 11. Let It Feel the Way It Feels 12. Break Away

2018 . Long known for her seductively haunting voice, Folk singer/songwriter Meiko releases Playing Favorites, her first covers album. Featuring songs made immortal by luminaries The Cranberries, Otis Redding, Erykah Badu, Duran Duran, Blind Melon, and even Rick James, among many others, Meiko leaves her own indelible mark on these songs and will have you hearing them as if it were the first time. Meiko has built a loyal following since her wildly successful self-titled in 2007, along with subsequent releases The Bright Side, Dear You, Lovers & Fighters, Live Songs from The Hotel Cafe, and Moving Day. Part of the Chesky Binaural + Series, all recorded with a single microphone, the band appears right before you with this spacious, rich and multi-dimensional recording. Now headphone users will hear the same three-dimensional sound and imaging as audiophiles have for the past 25 years with Chesky Recordings. Also, these new Binaural+ Series albums capture even more spatial realism for the home audiophile market, bringing you one step closer to the actual event. You will hear some of the most natural and pure music ever recorded. MQACD. Album Tracks 1. Zombie 2. Stand By Me 3. Crush 4. No Rain 5. Fade Into You 6. (Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay 7.
