John K. SamsonCity Route 85 [EP]
ANTI- Records [2009]
Fire Drill Review:
You may know Samson from his day job as the singer-songwriter frontman for the Canadian indie group The Weakerthans but the City Route 85 EP finds him branching out with a very solid and intimate 3 song set. City Route 85 is the first in a series of recordings exploring the atmospheric streets and highways surrounding Samson's home in Winnipeg Canada. His simplistic acoustic guitar approach works as his likable voice makes this record a success. If the rest of this series is as good as this well thought out set, then I am not only ready for more but hopefully a solo full length will develop too!
Key Track: “Heart Of The Continent”
Band With Similar Fire: Colin Meloy
