Roxanne Potvin - No Love for the Poisonous
When Colin Linden produced Potvin’s second album, he quickly united her with Daniel Lanois. “You’re both from Hull, you both speak French, you both love New Orleans, so it’s perfect,” Linden told Potvin. The collaboration resulted in the gorgeous duet “La Merveille.” Potvin’s third album, produced by Fembots’ Dave MacKinnon, is a deeper, richer exploration of jazz, folk, blues and funky New Orleans grooves. The bilingual beauty also delivers one nugget in French and another gem in both official languages.
