Omschrijving

Hailing from the Yukon Territory in the far north of Canada, The Lucky Ones took their name from Alistair MacLeod's novel, No Great Mischief, which recounts the saga of a Scottish clan linked through generations by blood and a common Gaelic culture, particularly its language and music. For the band's debut album, singer-guitarists JD McCallen and Ian Smith, singer-mandolinist Ryan West, banjoist Aaron P Burnie, and fiddle player Kieran Poile have compiled eight songs, many of which were passed down by their parents and generations before them. The opening track, ‘Fool's Gold’, a dark ballad with woeful lyrics, harks back to the Klondike Gold Rush. Other songs, such as ‘Since the Farm Got Sold’, ‘Waitin’ on a Paycheque’ and ‘Drunken Goodnight’, while possibly inspired by contemporary events, nevertheless perpetuate old lessons learned the hard way. The music, adeptly performed with palpable emotional sincerity, is conventional bluegrass filtered through a distinctly Canadian lens, tinged by isolation, melancholy and hardscrabble living.
