CD Review: Canadian Safari 2 (Anacrusis)
This latest offering from Vancouver's 'pride of lions' is so enjoyable that I recently found myself not minding that I had been stuck in the same spot in traffic for the past 20 minutes, just because I was listening to this in my car! A follow-up to the very successful Canadian Safari album released in 1998, this recording again features Canadian folk songs old and new but this time also with wonderful guest artists, Mad Pudding. A lively French-Canadian set captures the spirit of a quebecois party, and once again there are great Ron Smail arrangements of Stan Rogers' songs (including "The Mary Ellen Carter," for the Stan Rogers fans among you.) A surprisingly fresh version of "The Maple Leaf Forever" with new text moved me and the haunting rendition of "Frobisher Bay" still plays on in my memory. Canadian Safari 2 proves once again that Chor Leoni can do "serious and classical" and "fun and light" with equal panache.
