The track appeared on Herohill's tribute album to Lightfoot. You can hear the song here. I managed to catch Domestic Crisis Group when they came to Toronto for CMW. You can read my impressions here.

herohill vs. Gordon Lightfoot Redux:: Jon Mckiel & Jay Crocker

Jul 14, 2011, 7:53am Herohill
herohill vs. Gordon Lightfoot Redux:: Jon Mckiel & Jay Crocker Considering how many people contributed to the Gordon Lightfoot project, it's not surprising that a few missed the deadline. It's to be expected, especially when you are asking people to record covers on their own time and their own dime. Considering that he's become a road warrior - and actually had to try to mix and master this song between trips out to Calgary for Sled Island - it's amazing that Halifax's Jon Mckiel not only found time to head to a studio (Diego Medina's Old Confidence Lodge), he managed to [...]

New Song : Cursed Arrows : Let It Ride (Gordon Lightfoot cover)

Jul 7, 2011, 11:55am My Old Kentucky Blog
New Song : Cursed Arrows : Let It Ride (Gordon Lightfoot cover) We've been happily following the evolution of Canada's Cursed Arrows and the obligingly flesh-searing jams from their latest, The Madness Of Crowds . And just when we thought we'd got the Arrows pinned down, they toss us a stylistic googlie, in the form of, not just a cover tune, but a cover tune by Gordon Lightfoot. Recorded for a Canada Day tribute to everyone's favorite Canadian troubadour, Let It Ride is a radical departure from Cursed Arrows previous output, but I'll be damned if it doesn't [...]

No you can't have more Wolf Parade, but you can have some Moonface

No you can't have more Wolf Parade, but you can have some Moonface Jagjaguwar You'll excuse the brevity of today's post as I try to pretend I'm still on some kind of holiday schedule. Hope everyone in Canada had a lovely long weekend and everyone in America is still enjoying theirs; today is a sort of belated Canada Day-ish post. Note the "ish". Many were disappointed when Wolf Parade made good on their promise to call it a day - at least for the foreseeable future after a couple of final shows at the end of may, but if anything that means fans will have [...]

Oh Canada

Jul 1, 2011, 8:10pm Barely Awake In Frog Pajamas
Oh Canada It's Canada Day today. The older I get, the more often I consider Canada and think, yeah, now that seems like a country that has its act together. There's football and rock bands and rivers and streams of pure maple syrup. Paloma and I were watching episodes of The Kids In The Hall last week when she suggested we move to the land that gave us Bruce McCulloch. "I don't think that they want us." Not that we're trouble. We're quiet, well-behaved and have both seen [...]

Hosted by Herohill: Turning Back The Pages … [LP]

Jul 1, 2011, 5:20pm Potholes In My Blog
Herohill, a Canadiana blog based out of Halifax, has warmed my Kanuk heart on this fine CANADA DAY with an ambitious project they released today in honor of one of our greatest Canadian folk heros, Gordon Lightfoot, the man behind anthems like "The Great Canadian Railroad Trilogy" and "If You Could Read My Mind". Gordie's the bomb and so are his timeless songs, so it's rad that Herohill commissioned severa l Canadian artists (+ one American) to record original covers of his songs they then collected into a compilation album titled Turning Back The Pages Of My Sweet Shattered Dreams, a [...]

herohill vs. Gordon Lightfoot: Turning Back The Pages Of My Sweet Shattered Dreams

Jul 1, 2011, 10:21am Herohill
herohill vs. Gordon Lightfoot: Turning Back The Pages Of My Sweet Shattered Dreams So hear it is. The result of months of hard work from some of our favorite bands across this nation (and even a special cameo from one of our favorite American outfits). Basically, the idea was simple: Pay tribute to a Canadian legend on Canada Day. Oh, and get some free content for the blog of course. In all seriousness, Gordon Lightfoot has been making music for decades and his stories are passed from generation to generation. Unfortunately, when asked about the greatest Canadian songwriters, Gordon is often left off the list. [...]
