Did I miss a memo or something? Because, from out of nowhere, Canada seems to be

developing into one of the major producers for great music at the moment.

Nowhere is this more apparent that in the realm of country, where musicians like Kathleen Edwards show up, new album under the arm, ready to charm us with its subtle magic. Edwards‘ sophomore collection Back to Me builds on her rep as a solid songwriter in the vein of Lucinda Williams and has members of Whiskeytown, My Morning Jacket and Tom Petty's Heartbreakers lending support. Not that she needs it, mind you.
