Catherine MacLellan - Church Bell BluesPEI’s MacLellan comes by her craft honestly. Her father, Gene MacLellan, wrote such Can-folk classics as “Snowbird” and “Put Your Hand in the Hand,” covered by Anne Murray, Elvis Presley, Joan Baez and others. The twentysomething MacLellan’s second album features a dozen finely etched songs about facing life’s challenges that sound as timeless as her dad’s. Whether singing about the effects of winter (“Snow Day”) or shattered hopes (“Dreams Dissolve”), she displays a wise talent well beyond her years.
