Morlove: The Bandwidth Interview
Morlove is Miss Emily Brown--of Iroquois, Ontario--and Corwin Fox, I reached them by phone as they were waking up from last night's gig. It wasn't your usual grungy tavern, but rather had taken place at an organic farm in Chase, British Columbia. This new album Old Tomorrow came to life after a sojourn at the Banff Centre of the Arts. They spent time co-writing and researching other arts beyond that of songwriting, and within the songs are references to urban design, Corwin's family tartan, and some Canadian history.
Take a listen to my chat with Morlove, on the line while on tour amongst the barnyard animals! Cock-a-doodle doo!

Call it a comeback: Laura Smith
She had three freak accidents that left her dependent on pain killers, broke, and depressed. Eventually Laura Smith pulled out of the abyss that kept her from the studio for 15 years. She's released her first album since 1997's It's a Personal Thing.
Everything Is Moving reveals the folk singer is not only back, but better than ever. Everything is moving again, indeed.
