Her first album Failer caused quite a rumpus and led to her opening for the likes of Bob Dylan and The Stones. 200 live dates and two years down the line, she's back in the studio, keen as mustard and not a little jaded. Ms Edwards is a talented songwriter with a voice to match. She surely hits the spot with "Away", summing up the record's theme of yearning for home and absent friends. On "I   [ read more ]

Teeming with roots and with alternative country oozing from every note, Kathleen Edwards could easily be compared to fellow Canadian Sarah Harmer, but there is a natural difference in their approaches.
