The Ark: Fred Eaglesmith
This acclaimed Canadian country-rock singer-songwriter is known for brilliantly realized tales of rural and small-town life that are alternately dark, tender, terrifying, and savagely hilarious and are brought to life by canny rhythmic and melodic settings that draw freely on a variety of idioms from folk and bluegrass to rockabilly to dissonant avant-rock. His new CD Tinderbox is a collection of songs Eaglesmith calls "alternative gospel (gospel for non-believers) - it's full of backsliders and people living on the margins." $20.
