Wanderer's Paean
Kim Beggs
$20.00 CAD
Fifteen years ago, Kim Beggs journeyed to northwestern Canada and stayed. It was the dark and lonesome, bitter cold of Yukon winters that beat down her door to yield this poignant album of her timeless songwriting about birth, death and wandering spirits.
Juno Award winning producer, Bob Hamilton's sparse production captures her sweet, bramble, oldtyme voice as it lifts and carries through mountains; on trains, rivers and oceans. Included in this body of work, are Beggs renditions of two traditional songs (#5 & #10) and a Bill Monroe/Robert Van Winkle song (#12). Wanderer's Paean (payin) is her second full-length album and although quite distinct from the first album Streetcar Heart (2004), it promises to be just as poetic and memorable.
This recording project was funded by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Yukon Film and Sound Commission.
