i thought this deserved a seperate thread. Pretty cool folk/country-rock. Kinda like Ryan Adams.

very talented guy check it out for free guys, go to the music section and every song is good, except i'd skip the first one unless you're into country.

IME are on "Hiatus" although it seems like they're done, esspecially since they no longer have a record label.

Jag is producing for lots of Toronto bands, and doing TV show music.

Chris organizes events

Bruce is playing with another casual band...forgot there name.

And Brian has a solo career that record companies are fighting over.

Anyways, i left IME out ofthis thread because i don't want people being scared off because they didn't like IME. Brian's solo stuff really doesn't sound much like IME.

The only people who probably even bothered to give it a chance are IME fans, and his sound is so different that they probably just didn't like it. heh

yeah it's no IME at all, but no one gives poor Brian a chance, i still personally liked IME better, but i think most people would like Brian's solo stuff better. I could actually see it being popular.

I think it's Sarah Harmer singing on "Arizona". I really don't like the first song though, it's WAY to country

he's definatly got a deal, apparently there's 3 major labels all very intrested, and several minor ones.

it's pretty good, i don't like country but i don't really consider it country music at all, it's more just slow acoustic stuff, that happens to have the odd country sound. He doesn't sing with a twang or use a fiddle or anything.

Well the first song is kinda country but the rest a damn good.

yep... i only listened to each one once, but from what i can tell the third one is by far my favourite.
the first and second were pretty damn country, but i thought #1 was kinda cool.


And he didnt copy any titles directly, they just sound too much like steriotypical country titles.... obviously it bothers me a lot more than it should :think:
