A fearless songwriter with a beautiful and singular voice, Ingrid MacDonald's debut album, Rodeo, demonstrates just how good folk music can be when all the right elements come together. The songs on Rodeo are so good that they have a revivalist feel: strong melodies, memorable choruses, and precise lyrics that convey what it feels to be alive: all brilliantly arranged by producer Gavin Gardiner (The Wooden Sky). Ingrid is joined by top shelf bluegrass musicians (The Lonesome Ace's John Showman on fiddle and Chris Coole on banjo, with the versatile Ben Whiteley on bass). Rodeo is a superb entry into the Canadian folk music scene.
