"Impressive Debut"

Art Pruce is a singer / songwriter, originally from Goulais River, Ontario and now making his home in Kamloops, BC. He makes an impressive debut with this solid collection of tunes, five of which he has a hand in writing. Pruce delivers his music with a vocal touch that sits somewhere between the mellowness of Don Williams, and the solitude of Gordon Lightfoot. The album's debut single, Let's Shine, has generated some national attention; but there's stronger material yet to come. Two of the truly outstanding items here come in the country shuffle Leave Me The Way You Left Me, and the two-steppin' Dancin' Out the Rhythm, both of which were co-written by Art Pruce with his wife Lori. Also strong is the closing positive message song, Believe, a funky item in I Ain't Superstitious; and a bouncy number in I Don't Mind If You Do, a tune previously released by Canuck warbler Linda Reid. For the sake of vairety listen also for a gospel flavoured song in Give Me Your Wisdom and some mellow offerings in Lovin' Me Away, and the dreamy Blue Moon. Wish I Could Go was produced by award-winning Tom McKillip and recorded at studios in Vancouver. - Country Music News
