Corb Lund's American Invasion Continues on NPR

Posted: December 1st, 2009 at 4:24 pm  |  By: Chris Parton  

Corb LundCorb Lund's newest album, Losin' Lately Gambler, has been in my CD player for what seems like a year now, and he and his Hurtin' Albertans officially became one of my new favorite bands when I saw them play at The Basement in Nashville. But he's far from a new artist, having racked up multiple Canadian Country Music Association awards. I've been hoping that his popularity in Canada would find its way south, and so I just had to share this interview he did on NPR's All Things Considered. It gives some insight to Lund's background and songwriting, along with explaining a bit about Canadian geography, provincial rivalries and the infamous -- and apparently true -- stereotype that Canadians say "eh" all the time. Also, he gives a performance of "Family Reunion," a really funny song that fits perfectly with the holiday season. (Make sure to stick around for the end of this one.)

    Anybody that says Country music is dead, or has gone completely Pop, has obviously never listened to this guy.

    Great music, and great songwriting. Take the time to click on the interview mentioned here. You just might find a new friend.

    I’m from QUébec and I adore Corb. Sadly, he never came close enough to Sherbrooke, Québec for me to see him in concert but I would love it! The problems between provinces is there and in Québec, we are the FRENCH province and never get any great country music here… The only really BIG shows we had were Billy Ray Cyrus, Shania Twain, Garth Brooks and Dixie Chicks… last Fall we almost had Brad Paisley but they chose to go to New Brunswick instead… very sad.
    We have had a couple Canadian country artists in small venues at English fairs, but that’s all… Wish I could see Corb!!!
