Product Details
Kathleen Edwards was always a songwriter's songwriter, the kind of Canadian voice that made critics reach for comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris while somehow remaining entirely her own. Her return after a decade away from recording carries a weight that no manufactured comeback could replicate; the time spent building community behind a coffee counter rather than a tour bus only deepened the honesty her best songs always traded in.
2020 release. In the late aughts, Kathleen Edwards' career was on the rise and her four studio albums had received critical acclaim; she garnered Polaris Prize nominations, a SOCAN Songwriting prize win, and several Juno nominations. But amid this success she stepped back from the music industry and started a coffee shop outside of Ottawa called Quitters, a successful small business she ran for over a decade. Now, she's releasing album number five, just as a global pandemic has forced her to shut down the coffee shop and furlough the workers who became like family. Total Freedom, self-produced alongside Jim Bryson and Grammy winner Ian Fitchuk, opens a door to her view of life as it is now, with all it's wonderful complications.
