CannonsNorth – Goodbye Dog (Independent)
Minneapolis has always had a healthy music scene, andsince the mid ‘80s and the rise of The Jayhawks, alt. country / Americana hasbeen one of the dominant genres in the city. Cannons North represent one of thenew generation of bands picking up steel guitars and mandolins, and with foursinger-songwriters in their ranks, they’ve got plenty to say.So, with four out of five members contributing songsit’s hardly surprising that their debut album has appeared only a year aftertheir inception. Perhaps it’s a little more unexpected that it sounds so fullyformed. There’s a genuine group dynamic at play. Though it’s easy enough toseparate the different singers, and even their writing styles, “Goodbye Dog”hangs together extremely well. Opening cut “Cannonball Express” displays manyof the same characteristics that defined the first Wilco album, an uncomplicatedcountry-rock style, played with genuine enthusiasm and a lot of heart. “Drive”feels like a call to arms, a Cannons North theme song with an in-built love ofthe road, and the opportunity to spread the joy. The title track’s a countrytearjerker – the singer really loved that dog – and “Not The Life” providesanother moody, brooding highlight. Good songs, good singers and good musicians– be sure to check out “Goodbye Dog” and dig the new breed.www.cannonsnorth.comwww.facebook.com/Cannons-NorthRob F.
