Kevin Fox - Come Alive
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Kevin Fox - Come AliveWith this debut, Halifax native Fox leaves behind his years as a session player for artists from Sarah Harmer to Céline Dion. A classically trained cellist who also plays guitar, bass and possesses a warm, rich tenor, Fox has surrounded himself with strings, brass and woodwinds to create a minor symphonic pop masterpiece. His songs, from “Satisfaction’s Grace” and “By and By” to “These Fears” and “A Bit About Myself,” fit the sensitive, confessional mold. But there’s not a cringe-inducing one in the bunch.
