HUSKIES & HUSQVARNAS
|
 |
Huskies and Husqvarnas, is a gritty, country music
travelogue tracing Hus’s footsteps across Western Canada.
He is the prairie recreation of Stompin’ Tom, with a pinch
of Dick Damron, Leroy Van Dyck and Hank Snow thrown in for good
measure.Corb Lund lends a hand and is heard on Hurtin’
Albertan. And in a neighborly fashion, Hus repays the favour
on Lund’s, Hair in my Eyes like a Highland Steer.
Huskies and Husqvaras, sounds great streaming from speakers
housed in truck dashboards. It’s a rough edged, patriotic
salute to working people, composed of prairie anthems that use
the jargon and handles of work life. Look for a hidden track
telling of his
misadventures in Mexico and a thief’s error in trying
to walk in the boots of Tim Hus.
