Release Notes:

On his first record for Canadian independent label
True North (his previous two have since been
re-released by them), Fearing teamed with Los
Lobos' Steve Berlin as his producer. The result was
a more polished work than his previous and the
musicianship throughout is excellent. Contributions
from Richard Thompson and Sarah McLachlan augment
Fearing's skilled acoustic guitar playing, which is
highlighted on the instrumentals "Lark and Duke"
and "Martin's" (dedicated to guitarist Martin
Carthy). The archetypal singer/songwriter,
Fearing's songs on this album reflect on topics
such as loneliness ("Down the Wire"), love ("Give
It Up"), and life on the road ("The Life"). He
celebrates his "Canadianness" in the invigorating
"The Longest Road" and dabbles in the blues with
"Lonesome Whistle," popularized by Little Feat more
than a decade earlier.
