Product Description

BBC Review

The wave of female duos bubbling up with the Americana label as the new century wears on owes as much to 60s pop as any rootsy leanings. Madison Violet’s 2012 release shows off many of the genre’s buoyant virtues, too, even if it doesn’t rise above the tide of pretty twosomes.

Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac (whose brother is the maverick Celtic-rock fiddler Ashley MacIsaac) hail from the fertile singer-songwriter heartland of Canada. After some years of obscurity their 2009 album, No Fool for Trying, earned them recognition and awards there. And there are plenty of sweet hooks among the up-tempo tunes that carry this follow-up’s downbeat lyrics; fellow Ontario native Ron Sexsmith has a writing hand in the typically lovelorn Fallen by the Wayside.

The production is intimate and uncluttered, though there are no surprises about the string bass and finger-picked guitar, wistful harmonica, choogling brushes on the drums and occasional strings. The misfit here – and the standout effort – is the lusty traditional hoedown Cindy Cindy, whose time-honoured craft makes its newly-written neighbours sound gauche, as well as rousing the fieriest contribution from the instrumentalists: “If I was an apple, hanging on a tree / Every time my Cindy passed she’d take a bite of me.”

Really, though, this stuff is just a whisker away from the easy listening country pop of the late 60s and early 70s (and a cheerful showbiz tradition that stretches all the way back through the sisters Beverley and Andrews.) It doesn’t take much imagination to picture MacEachern and MacIsaac in matching cheesecloth on the Val Doonican Show.

But the standard for country-pop harmony vocals was set long before even that – and with male voices, too. So while the flood of singing sisters, cousins and girlfriends may be shaping its own great talents, listeners who hanker for a little more salt in the water may yet find themselves drifting back in the direction of “E” for Everly.

CD Description

Lauded roots duo Madison Violet are poised to launch to the musical forefront Canada's growing singer/songwriter movement with their new record, 'The Good in Goodbye'. As the follow-up to their breakthrough success 'No Fool for Trying' (2009) the new record captures the growth and musical maturity of the duo who have mastered their own distinct take on iconic Americana-inspired up-tempo melodies, contrasted with breathtakingly sweeping and personal lyrics. The 11-song collection is an open diary of Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac's lives as they have grown as musicians and friends. Penned entirely as a duo, the songs range from an exploration of the landscapes of their lives on the road, to yearning for the familiarity of home, each one brimming with a hopeful sentiment which comes from an emotional place anchored in contentment and peace. To capture the intimacy of 'The Good in Goodbye', Madison Violet returned to the studio with trusted friend and producer Les Cooper while bringing a collective of remarkable musicians into the fold, including Joel Stouffer (Dragonette) on drums, Adrian Lawryshyn (Andy Stochansky) on bass, and vocals from Ruth Moody (The Wailin' Jennys) and singer/songwriter Blair Packham.

Madison Violet 29 Jan 2012
Format:Audio CD
Madison Violet just keep getting better. This album has knocked Emmylou's, Hard Bargain, off the no 1 spot from my favourite recently purchased list. If you like your music to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, make you feel like you've fallin in love again for the first time, then buy it. It will make you want to buy it and give it to all of your friends so they can love it too. I went and saw them live at The Borderline, London on 25/01/12 and they were terrific. They are the Hel'yeah in Hello.
