Omschrijving
De Canadese singer/songwriter maakt schilderijtjes. Geen bombastische Rembrandts of onbegrijpelijke expressionistische afbeeldingen. Nee, alledaagse tafereeltjes, herkenbaar en klein. Maar daarom niet minder belangrijk. Een vernieuwend folkartiest.

From the opening twang of this album, it seems easy to describe Dave Gunning; he’s good-time, old-town country. Lost dog country. Truck broke country. But then you look closer, see a different splash of mud and find more underneath. Opening track "These Roads” longs for home, with a wonderfully rich instrumental sound drawing you along the roads that will all eventually lead back to love. "Hard Workin’ Hands” extols the virtues of hard work while also maintaining a sense of self when the work day ends, which is mirrored by Gunning’s youthful voice matched to the wiser one of Dr. Ron Hynes. Musically, it maintains a clarity of tone while creating a complex and well-crafted interplay of lines. This album encapsulates what we want out of the best albums of the genre: each song flowing along narrative and musical lines with never a word or note out of place.
