I thought I'd kick off 2007 with a bit of romance and national pride. I'm not sure how popular Hawksley Workman is outside of Canada, but he's huge here. Of course, most people know Hawksley from his gigantic radio singles, like "Striptease" (a pretty straightforward title) and "Smoke Baby" (dominated by lyrics about cocaine and alcohol). So, if you've never actually gone out and listened to a Hawksley album before, you might be surprised to find that the vast majority of his songs are low-key love songs that show off both a great voice and immense lyrical talent. This song is my all-time favourite Workman tune, as it showcases pretty much everything that makes him a great artist. He duets here with a great female vocalist, who isn't credited on the album and, even with some research, I haven't been able to figure out who it is. My best guess is that it's Sarah Slean, a Canadian indie favourite, who worked on a couple of other songs on this album, entitled (last night we were) The Delicious Wolves. Make sure to check it out. As usual, just press the ZAP button on the player to listen.
