Here’s a clip of roots music sirens, and close-harmony Canadian trio The Good Lovelies. It’s “Lie Down”, a cut off of their self-titled Juno-winning record (for best traditional album) The Good Lovelies. If you’re looking for roots music that has the subtle sophistication of pop music, without all of the banality that the term ‘pop’ unfortunately seems to imply these days, you may just have found your band in the Good Lovelies.
And yet, it’s important to remember that at one time, music played on acoustic instruments and sung in clear, unfiltered voices by real singers once defined what pop music was. This is what this band reminds us of.
