The Rankin Family - These Are the MomentsOne of Canada’s most celebrated musical families, the Rankins split in 1999—only to have John Morris die in a tragic car accident the following year. Two years ago, with the pain behind them, the group reunited with John Morris’ daughter Molly completing the lineup. Now, Jimmy, Heather, Cookie and Raylene are back with their mellifluous harmonies and a mix of updated classics like “Rise Again” and “Fare Thee Well Love” and stirring new songs of hope such as “Never Alone” and “Breathe Dream Pray Love.”
