It's getting on for a decade since Kathleen Edwards packed in music and opened up a coffee shop in Ottawa to escape the strains of the music industry and her life imploding.
When I first heard her new single, from an album to be released in August, I did wonder if being forced to close up shop for lockdown had inspired her to pick up her guitar and start writing songs again. That'd make a great story, wouldn't it? As it turns out though, the album was mostly written and recorded pre-coronavirus.
Still, it's good to have Kathleen back. She's long been a favourite of mine, and she's sounding as good as ever...
(Sound philosophy too. We all need to keep our options open at the moment.)
