DOIRON, JULIE
JULIE DOIRON AND THE WOODEN STARS (JAGJAGUWAR)
Available for the first time on vinyl, "Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars" is Doiron's most critically acclaimed album, going so far as to win the 2000 Juno Award - the Canadian equivalent to the Grammy - for best independently released album of the year.
Combining elements of rock and jazz a la Joni Mitchell's early '70s work, "Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars" somehow translated the coldness of the Canadian winter into one of the warmest and most tender records to be produced in the Eastern province in years.
