Amy Honey [myspace] is an artist based in Seaforth, Nova Scotia. Judging from her myspace page, and the sampling of music to be had there, she is an artist with a sense of humour. Songs like Woods Hag (which details her desire to move to the woods, stop bathing and sleep in a lean to) or like Pioneer Woman (which is a hard rock/bluegrass experiment based in the theory that Honey herself is a woman pioneer living in a sod hut) are perfect examples of her delightful ability to poke fun at her own music.
But those aren't the songs I'm trying to tell you about. That song is called Farley Mowat and it's something of an ode to the prodigious Canadian authour and D-Day Dodger. Mr. Mowat's own soothing voice is featured on the track and Honey's vocals blend seamlessly with it. It's an impressive bit of musicianship and after listening to her myspace music, I'm looking forward to hearing even more from her in the future.
BONUS TRACK!
I'm also giving you a song by Entire Cities, a band which has captured my heart in a way usually reserved for puppies, the laughter of children and the slow release of a well mixed Gin and Tonic.
