Nadia Reid just keeps getting better and better and she started out with two outstanding albums. Out Of My Province is her third, and best so far (she has a new one coming, reports KS).
The full band setting hasn't eclipsed her at all - instead the added electric guitars, orchestra, brass and drums create an excellent foundation for her glorious voice. Oh Canada is a great example - the layers are carefully and skillfully created to serve the song.
There are plenty of echoes of other singers but I find it hard to put my finger on exact ones, so, in the end, Nadia emerges as someone with her own vibe.
Certainly no skippers among the set, my only slight criticism would be positioning Get The Devil Out as the last track. I'd plump for Other Side Of The Wheel instead with its final thought hanging in the air:
Life has given me just what I needed/ Time is cruel, but time is a healer.
I bought her first two albums and will be looking for a physical copy of this one as well. Great choice Kevy!
