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.

whatever happened to ime?

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.

hmmmm.....i guesss no one likes him.........i thought at least some Ryan Adam's fan's would, he's not really weird or anything....

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 people see IME and run like hell, and most IME fans wouldn't like this music........poor Brian

I shoud have referred to him as Alex Buchannon and gave anoymous links to his music.

Ahh, now the picture thread makes much more sense.

I actually downloaded Jen's Song and Nova Dashboard. I'm listening to it right now.
It's SO not I mother earth-like.

it's not, but i actually rather like them.

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

i have ... ZERO knowledge in country music. so I don't know.... it seems alright to me but then i havent heard much.

yes, Brian's solo stuff is FANTASTIC!...I hope he secures a North American deal so I can purchase the album easier.

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.

the first and third songs aren't bad,
but the titles really bother me.


it's like he's trying to get himself country credability by stealing names from garth brooks and co.

it's pretty shallow, but jeez... i HATE the titles.

lol you're mad about the titles?

what songs did he rip them off from? i don't really know country music.

???? You liked "King of late night tv"???? I can't stand it

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
