John K. Samson: Provincial

by Madeleine Armstrong – Crofton House School, Vancouver BC Apr 11, 2012

3 stars

A simple soundtrack for prairie life.

Nostalgic walks down four Manitoba roads were the inspiration for John K. Samson’s newest album, Provincial. In this collection of simple, prairie-inspired folk tunes, Samson reflects on his life in Manitoba with brassy guitar and a reminiscent tone. Samson’s strength truly lies in his lyrics: The music is creaky and lackluster at times, but Samson’s amusing wit and careful words make every song a kind of sweet, untainted poetry - a narration for those nostalgic moments. 
 
Madeleine's fave track: Heart of the Continent (Live version)
