The Deep Dark Woods

The Deep Dark Woods, a foursome from Saskatoon, have created an album of well-crafted country tunes with vocals that run through your body like whiskey, keeping you warm on a cold winter’s night, and harmonies like the north wind blowing softly through the trees. The band keeps one foot planted firmly in the past by keeping their songs rooted in tradition in both form and content while still sounding fresh.

With the help of award winning producer/musician Steve Dawson they have created Winter Hours, their third album (second on Black Hen Music), which for me is the best album of the year so far. Standout tracks: All the Money I Had is Gone and Two Time Loser.

Published in Volume 63, Number 23 of The Uniter (March 12, 2009)
