Songs of the Week: October 23 - 29, 2023
“Dark Angel” by Rose Cousins, Jill Barber, and Jenn Grant
Can you think of a better trio of Canadian singers than Rose Cousins, Jill Barber, and Jenn Grant? Neither could Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy.
Barber explains that she was backstage at a Blue Rodeo show last spring with Grant, when “Jim Cuddy turned to us and suggested that, along with Rose Cousins, we should form a trio... like a Canadian version of the Dolly Parton, Linda Rondstadt and Emmylou Harris ‘Trio’. The next thing we knew we were sending Rose a video message saying: ‘we're doing this, because Jim said so’.”
So of course, their first single is a gorgeous & haunting cover of “Dark Angel”, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of Five Days In July.
Hopefully we hear more from the trio in the future, but for now, check out the cover below!

“Halloween Store” by Andy Shauf
Phewf! We got this one in under the wire…couldn’t leave out “Halloween Store” by Andy Shauf the day before Halloween!
It’s a fun, and chaotic, little song, and now it has a fun, and chaotic, little video to go along with it.
I hope you all have your costumes for tomorrow - I have to get back to work on mine.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
