I’ve been contemplating this for some time, and I think it has finally come down to a simple fact: doing a Cover Art post each week has proven quite difficult. So, to lighten the load, I’m going to re-post each item here and thus form a new column here for all future Cover Art posts. The original page will remain, but all Cover Art posts will also find a home here. We will begin with my favorite compilation from 2009: The Hydeaway CD Newsletter Issue #1.

You’d think it would be rare to come across an artist so endearing, yet it seems to happen on a regular basis. You connect with their music, the chord progressions and the instruments they use, the messages they convey in their lyrics. And they move you. Thus it is so with Geoff Hawryluk; “Come Autumn” must be one of my best discoveries of 2009.
