Kathleen Edwards - Voyageur

Her aptly titled fourth album finds the Canadian songbird journeying into new waters. Having split with guitarist-husband Colin Cripps, who helped shape her alt-country sound, Edwards has co-produced her latest CD with boyfriend Justin Vernon, also known as Grammy-winning star Bon Iver. Marital discord is reflected in “Change the Sheets” and “House Full of Empty Rooms,” while a fresh, multi-textured pop sound can be heard on the peppy “Sidecar” and the dreamy epic “For the Record,” sung with Norah Jones.
