Catherine MacLellan - Water in the GroundHer father was Gene MacLellan, who wrote Anne Murray’s immortal “Snowbird.” Clearly, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Catherine’s new album showcases her inherited gift for writing deeply memorable songs. A little bit country and more upbeat than her last album, the melancholic Church Bell Blues, this collection features playful numbers like “Hotel Stairs,” the spiritual “Something Gold” and one touching tune for her daughter, “Isabel’s Song.” Like her dad’s best tunes, Catherine’s can also melt hearts.
