One of Canada’s most highly respected progressive folk-roots bands, Leahy, is set to release their fourth studio album,
Good Water, on Feb. 26. Produced by Grammy Award winner, David Bottrill, the band feels like this is the most ambitious recording project to date.
Leahy arrived on the Canadian music scene in the late 1990s after opening for Shania Twain on her ‘Come On Over’ tour and are now one of Canada’s most highly regarded musical groups. They won two JUNO awards in 1997 for Best Instrumental Group, Best New Group and Best Country Group the following year.
On Feb. 7, 1995, Shania Twain released her second album,
The Woman in Me. The Canadian musician co-wrote the album with her then-husband, Robert John Mutt Lange; the latter also produced the full-length.
Although the well-crafted songwriting points to Twain s future pop success, the LP is squarely in the country realm. However,
The Woman In Me has a song for every mood, as it boasts tender ballads ( The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You), Raining on Our Love ), sentimental breakup songs (the piano-driven waltz Leaving Is the Only Way Out ), searing country-rockers ( (If You re Not in It for Love) I m Outta Here! ) and kicky dancefloor fillers ( Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under? ).
