It's halftime in America... In fact, it's halftime everywhere. Half a year of music has happened and MTIB is here to let you know what albums are the best of the year... in our opinion, so far. Clint Eastwood is here too, but only because it's halftime. He doesn't have anything to contribute to our album list. Enjoy the list and feel free to share the albums you think we forgot in the 'comments' section below.

KATHLEEN EDWARDS, HANNAH GEORGAS ( Aladdin Theater , 3017 SE Milwaukie) In 2003, I was driving to the record store for no particular reason while WFUV broadcast a live, on-air performance from some Canadian songwriter I'd never heard of. It was Kathleen Edwards, and when I arrived [...]

Here's your Tuesday: ► Canadian songstress Kathleen Edwards visits the El Rey Theatre behind her fourth album (and finest yet), "Voyageur," which was co-produced by Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). That's her video for "Change the Sheets," above. ► White Arrows , their new EP "Fireworks of the Sea" out earlier this month, headline the Roxy on a night that features Kraddy and the Stone Foxes. ► Harriet headlines the Bootleg Bar, supported by the new project from Mike Moonves of Chief, High Rise, and Australia's Husky. ► Chicagoans [...]

On Further Review by Tom Sweeney I appear to be in something of a run when it comes to Canadian music these days. Hot on the heels of a piece on Winnipeg native Ruth Moody , I’m writing about Ottawan Kathleen Edwards ’ latest album, a polished collection of pop songs co-produced with Justin Vernon ( Bon Iver ) [...]

Tweet Two things I know as fact about Canada; one, it's cold as hell. And two, they export some of the best modern singer songwriter music available.  Not the whiny angst ridden varitey that you seem to get here in the US. Certainly, with artists like Laura Marling and Ellie Goulding , the UK is still leading the pack. But Canada is closing the gap quick. Especially with fantastic emerging artists like Kathleen Edwards . [...]

While the sudden temperature spurt would make it seem otherwise (almost 70 degrees in the middle of the winter season?!), the month of February is now upon us. For those who find themselves without a Valentine this year, worry not-there is still plenty to love about February, including the free tickets The Vinyl District will be giving away to each of these upcoming shows at the 9:30 Club !

Changes in an artist’s style of sound can signify many things. In Kathleen Edwards’ case, the transition from pure Americana to a softer, indie-rock-oriented feel reveals the heartache and dismay that resulted from her toll-taking divorce. Edwards' latest album, Voyageur , is the telling of her recent split from musician and producer Colin Cripps; the album was produced by her new romantic interest, Bon Iver front man Justin Vernon. (Hence the heavy indie-rock influence.) “Change The Sheets,” the first single from “Voyageur,” is a moving and mournful song that conveys exactly what it was meant to, with Edwards’ crystal-clear [...]

2011 may prove to be the year Kathleen Edwards recalls as the twelve months that made the Torontonian singer-songwriter. That said it could just as easily have been the year to break her: despite embarking on a European tour with the universally-venerated Justin Vernon under the household-infiltrating, BRIT-acknowledged, show-stealing, Grammy nomination-sweeping Bon Iver moniker her support slot on the second of two London shows at the Hammersmith Apollo was greeted by the most indecorous indifference one may care to envisage . Similarly, anyone who's ever painstakingly pieced together a record will be all too cognisant of the [...]

For those of you who don't know who Kathleen Edwards is, you're going to be hearing her name a lot in the coming days, weeks and months, as the critically acclaimed Canadian alt.country singer will release her fourth studio album Voyageur tomorrow via Zoe/Rounder Records.  Edwards was looking to get away from the singer-songwriter mold of her previous work, and make an album more inline with the indie rock that she had been listening to before entering the studio. So what's the big deal about that? Well, she was able to nab none other [...]

Donovan Woods is one of my favourite musicians in all of the Great White North (Canada for you foreigners).  He actually has been for a few years now.  So when he offered to guest post his list of the 10 tracks that really did something for him this year, it was exciting and I was very interested into what make Woods tick. Well I have to say I was surprised on a few of them but then sat back and thought to myself that while I might still be "Mr. Slowcoustic" that isn't my only side, hell, I'm [...]
