For the records

All of Our Names

• There's a feature article in today's Toronto Star on Sarah Harmer. I always thought the first single 'Almost' off the new album sounded more like a Weeping Tile song and even Sarah herself admits it in the article. I feel validated. ;-)
  
  BTW, the umusic.ca site has a Sarah Harmer site that has a a good sampling of audio and video for those not already in the know.



• The Cowboy Junkies site has the following news update today, which I have cut and paste below for your convenience [please do visit the Cowboy Junkies site as well!]:
  
  "The new CD, One Soul Now, will be available for pre-order soon. It will ship on June 8, the official North American release date. Check back for details. Also coming soon: 'neath your covers, part 1 (covers of songs by Springsteen, Van Zandt, The Cure, Neil Young and The Youngbloods, available bundled with the new CD) and Anatomy Of An Album CD-ROM. Oh yeah, and a brand-new website, too!"
