Which she not only released on CD by vinyl as record as well.
It open up with some sighing steel guitar and melody right out of the late ’50s and early ’60 on ‘Unless You care.’
It features some Canadian country royalty as well including duets with 2012 CCMA Hall of Famer Johnny Burke and the one and only Ian Tyson, who sings on Honeymoon and ‘A Country Song,’ respectively.
She has a truly beautiful voice, and that steel guitar just takes you back.
The Johnny Burke duet is gorgeous. While the music is right out of the southern United States, the lyrics are pure Canadiana as Burke and Thibideau sing about dancing with Anne Murray on “Honeymoon.”
The highlight of the record is her sprightly Canadianized version of Woody Guthrie’s ‘This Land,’ in which she seamlessly intersperses the Canadian national anthem in between lyrics of “from Bonavista to Vancouver Island, from the Arctic Circle to the Great Lake waters.”
Ian Tyson adds his well worn voice to the heart tugging ‘A Country Song.’
She winds the record down with a solid verison Buffy St. Marie’s tender tender ballad “ Until it’s Time for you to Go.”
There is also an exceptional bittersweet, whimsical song themed around Christmas called ‘So’s Christmas’ about waiting for her boyfriend to come home and finally propose.
