I went to the Bassment tonight with Eric to watch some bluegrass.
I discovered Eliza Doyle last month on my way to Regina, when the CBC did a spotlight on Saskatchewan talent. Been listening to her ever since...
Never been into bluegrass, but I can see the appeal. Don't know much about the industry, but it seems to me that it hasn't been corrupted by the incessant commercialism that so poisons mainstream music these days.
Doyle's very talented, with a unique music style. Her lyrics were mostly about love and loss - but they were down to earth, unpretentious. And she had a great sense of humour and wit about her. She seemed real, genuine. It made the entire evening very pleasant.
