  • Description

    "Church Bell Blues often comes across as a therapeutic outpouring of emotion from a young artist on the rise. It's a truly compelling record from a grand singer with a bright future on the horizon." - Exclaim Magazine It is Catherine MacLellan's voice that strikes you first. Pure and haunting, it caresses softly, insinuating itself into your heart, and just won't let go. Then, the subtle strengths of her deeply confessional, powerfully poetic songs emerge, revealing hidden layers with every listen. It is this combination that makes this release a bona fide roots music gem. MacLellan's immense vocal and songwriting talents are no secret to music lovers in the Maritimes. Her potential was first displayed in the group The New Drifts and then on her 2004 solo debut Dark Dream Midnight, but this release ups the ante considerably. It is a sparse and intimate record, one that gently fuses folk and country strains with graceful ease. Tracks: Dreams Dissolve / Emily's Song / River Valley Plains / Too Easy / There You Are / The Long Way Home / Stronger / Snow Day / Church Bell Blues / January Song / Brave Love / Long Time.
