Description
A small intake of breath before the chorus of Snowbird gives the game away; he wrote it. Gene MacLellan’s self-titled set gathers the songs most folks met through other voices and lets you hear the writer’s easy gait and weathered warmth. Snowbird lopes on brushed snare and a quietly insistent acoustic, and Put Your Hand in the Hand rolls with a gentle gospel sway that feels more pew than stage.
These aren’t rough drafts. The arrangements are spare but sure, with the baritone always in focus. This white vinyl pressing opens up the space around the guitars and his voice, and the low end sits deeper without clouding the room.
It belongs on the shelf beside Gordon Lightfoot’s early-70s folk-country, the same honest craftsmanship but with a saltier Maritime tilt. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Gene MacLellan records online with us. Longtime collectors will appreciate hearing these versions sequenced as an album rather than as a songwriter’s footnotes, and newcomers will find the melodies familiar before the second chorus. Quiet, sturdy, and unshowy, it’s the kind of record that makes a late Sunday tidy run smoother. File it under Canadian originals that reward a full side at a time.
Available online now or in our Melbourne shop, an easy pick for any Gene MacLellan fan.
