Editorial Reviews

Corb Lund is a Canadian musician/cowboy/3rd generation Albertan rancher who has crafted an exhilarating style of Western music. His new album Losin Lately Gambler is propelled by a galloping stand-up bass, steel guitar and is set to Corb's Jack London-esque yarns about down-and-out cowboys, whiskey and ranching. The sound is tough to categorize but the mix of roughnecks, bikers, bankers, and ranch hands you ll see drinking and standing shoulder to shoulder at one of his concerts will all agree, Corb Lund is authentic.

Lund was born and raised in rural Southern Alberta. He has been singing about his country upbringing for more than a decade on critically acclaimed albums such as Five Dollar Bill (2002) and Hair In My Eyes Like A Highland Steer (2005). Lund is the current Canadian Country Music Association's Roots Artist of the Year for the fifth consecutive year and has won countless Western Canadian Music Awards, Canadian Folk Music Awards and both Canadian and U.S. Independent Music Awards. Lund's music reaches across genres allowing him to appear at varied major festivals worldwide from the main stage at Glastonbury in the UK and Virginfest in Canada to a cowboy poetry festival in Nevada.

Yes, I know that is bad grammar! This album is everything I hoped it would be and more. Every cut is a keeper, from the melancholy strains of "Chinook" to the robust sarcasm of "Long Gone to Saskatchewan." I'd list all my favorite cuts on the CD, but you can find them on the play list! Best part of all, there is an insert with all the lyrics so if just for once, you can't quite catch a word you can read along (if you are a word listener and not just a bass guitar/fiddle listener). Only sad thing about getting this album is wondering how long until the next.

As good as it gets. At long last the US is finding out what Canada and a big part of the world has known for years. Don't try to put a label on his music. You can't. To me this is his best work but I have to say everything he does as a singer-songwriter is excellent. His band is also kick butt. OK, I'd say it's some kind of country that you'll be glad you have in your player and leave it.

Listening to Corb Lund's songs, you can tell that he's been there and done that. A great mix of story telling, creative lyrics and plain good music. Like his other albums, this one is full of songs that anyone who's lived in the country or would like to will enjoy.
