"Five New Songs Worth a Listen"

COUNTRY
Pretty Shoes

Laura Repo, from Get Yourself Home (Repo Girl)

Boots are made for walking, but shoes can help one forget. A woebegone ballad, sung with sad defiance, proposes a fancy-footwear purchase to fix forlornness.

COUNTRY/FOLK: Get Yourself Home

Three and a half stars

The singer with the summer peach voice suggests we peruse her snapshots – “look at ’em slow, one at a time.” A bittersweet shuffle, A Three Inch Stack of Photographs isn’t about nostalgia, but perspective and old stories that never change, for good or for bad. On her affecting, melodic third album, the Toronto songstress Laura Repo wins with lullabies, lovely harmonies, a waltz about a wedding dress never worn, sweet weariness and one high-and-lonesome ballad about a city (Montreal) where she can unwind. Get Yourself Home explores bygones – things missed and things gained, not always in black and white. Tuneful and relaxed, this record never stops. – Brad Wheeler - The Globe and Mail

Bio

“Well there’s more in there than a book can hold / Shadows and smiling ghosts....”

Get Yourself Home, Laura Repo's third album, celebrates the traditional music—bluegrass, old-time, country and blues— that she was raised on. (The opening track, “ Lullabies of the Land,” is a song for Repo’s father about all the coal mining songs he sang to her as a child.) Exquisitely recorded and produced by mandolin player and singer Andrew Collins at his own Sytesound studio, Get Yourself Home beckons with the warmth of its mostly acoustic instrumentation and the comfort of Repo’s compelling lyrics and understated vocal delivery. It features members of Collins' band, the award-winning Foggy Hogtown Boys, as well as a long list of celebrated Toronto musicians.
