“As Usual The Unusual” this cd veers through tributes to the brilliant “Sonny's Dream” composer Ron Hynes “The Night the Lights Blew Out in St. John's Newfoundland” and another to the great Tammy Wynette for her brave struggle to be heard against the odds, in the title track “Dream on Baby Dream On”, then on to lovely and sad in “She's Not Coming Back” and the infectious “I'm on my way to Trinidad” written with pal and award-winning Prairie Oyster steel guitarist Dennis Delorme (also dubbed “the Jimi Hendrix of the steel” when he was a member of Max Mouse and the Gorillas before his Oyster days), the psychedelic poetry of “Faces in the Fire”, the rollicking “The Same Old Game”, the memory-laden “Yesterday's Lady”, the feverish gallop of “Silver Maclean”, the sad wartime truth of “Anna”, all leading up to the reflective time-capsule in “Hillbilly Days” and on to the heart-breaking ballad “Blue on Blue”.
