Description:

For most musicians, the break-up album is the quintessential songwriter cliché - bringing with it the burden to eek out originality from an oversubscribed muse. But for award-winning indie artist Christa Couture - whose first three albums reflected on her teenage battle with cancer, the loss of her left leg to the disease, and the deaths of both of her young children under separate circumstances - the opportunity to write songs about such ordinary heartache seemed like a welcome reprieve. The collection seems effortlessly cohesive as Christa's expansive vocals and singular writing style provide the foundation for an array of arrangements - ranging from the sprightly, minimalist "Aux Oiseaux" to the twangy "Alone in This." The latter is Christa's "Nashville breakup song," in honor of the city where the album was recorded. Juno-winner Dawson not only produced the album but also contributes as a musician, adding pedal steel Weissenborn, ukulele and electric guitar. The top-notch band is rounded out by Blackie and the Rodeo Kings' rhythm section: John Dymond (k.d. lang, Bruce Cockburn) on bass and Gary Craig (Jann Arden, Anne Murray) on drums. Famed Nashville-based fiddler Fats Kaplin also makes an appearance on the coquettish "Lovely Like You."
