Miss Quincy “Your Mama Don’t Like Me” (2011)

What a wonderful surprise this album this album turned out to be, possessed with a crystalline and expressive vocal my attention was focused from track one on Miss Quincy’s second album a self release put together with a select band of fellow Canadian roots musicians, recording took place in a log cabin in Northern BC with the outside temperature dropping to forty below the band played on indoors producing a sweet set of tunes.

No doubt the “voice” is the star of the show for me but that’s not to take anything away from the songs themselves, clear and uncluttered arrangements provide the structure to a range of styles with a warm vintage feel, the supporting cast play no small part there’s some excellent strumming, picking and plucking on show from Craig Korth (guitar/banjo), Reno Finch ( mandolin). Pete Mynett (upright bass), Josh Giesbrecht (violin) and Don Gothard’s (Dobro).
