Six years ago, Canadian singer songwriter Kathleen Edwards turned her back on a successful music career and opened a Ottawa coffee shop called Quitters. A bad break up, disillusionment with the music scene, and depression led her to this decision... but thankfully, the coffee helped her cope, and early this year she released her first album since 2012, a revitalised collection in which she celebrates Total Freedom.
I've been a fan since her 2003 debut Failer (how could I resist a first album with a title like that?), so it was great to have her back. On top form too.
That's an interesting story I didn't know about, Rol. I liked some of that earlier work. If for no other reason, I'll give this album a try because I'm rooting for her.
