Eaglesmith has crafted a rich treasury of songs that grew out of his rural Ontario experience - songs about the land, the farms and the people who live on them. Poignant and heartfelt, his songs are crafted with fine attention to the particular and a keen understanding of the universal. Thousands of tour miles, however, have bred an BR LICPORRORSLENRE SEOs rr acute familiarity with North America's urban landscape - cities like Nashville, Toronto, Detroit and Austin - and now Fred and his songs are settling on the outskirts of town.
