The Rural Alberta Advantage was selected by emusic as one of their choice upcoming bands so I downloaded it on a whim and am really glad I did. I was probably drawn to them by their name and the fact that I suspected they are Canadian.
The vocals on the cd are heartfelt and full of emotion and the 13 songs on it skip by so quickly you want to put it on again right away. There isn't a duff song on Hometowns and every time I hear it I have a new favourite. The songs vary from the headlong percussion on 'Deathbridge from Lethbridge' to the the mellower 'Sleep all day' but it all works really well.
It isn't often that I hear a cd for the first time and make such a strong connection to it right away but with Hometowns I have. They make me want to hop on a plane back to Canada just to see them.
Highly recommended!
