专辑简介

Bill Dowling belongs to the “everyman” school of songwriting. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1955, he’s seen a lot of music come and go, and has been enraptured by most of it since his youth. His heroes have always been the great songwriters of our time; Lennon and McCartney, Dylan, Young, Cockburn and Earle, and of course their mentors; people like Townes Van Zandt, Willie Dixon…

”…Oh, so many… You keep finding more and more the longer you dig. The thing is, they’re people who write about anything and everything. And they can do it in so many ways, in so many voices, each and every one of them. I’ve always loved records that were really well-rounded; records that spoke about life and everything it entails – all the hopes and disappointments, the joys, the fears, the ironies. Songs that show an appreciation for who we are and how we got here. “

Bill’s first album, In The Wood (produced by Juno award winning Dan Donahue) was released in 2008, and was extremely well received, with the title track getting spins on Goldenwest radio in southern Manitoba and on CBC. His latest, Accidents & Incidents, carries on in the same veign, telling life’s stories in Bill’s folksy, gritty, groovy, rough and ready style.
