O melhor álbum canadense de 2014 segundo a Pop Matters: Steph Cameron’s influences couldn’t be more obvious: the early ‘60s Greenwich Village folk scene – including Dylan – as well as a little Gordon Lightfoot and Lucinda Williams. However, her delivery on the 13 songs on her striking debut album leaves an immediate, lasting impression. With just her guitar and harmonica for accompaniment, Cameron’s timbre immediately hints at sweetness, but the more it goes on, the more a gritty sadness creeps into her singing, as she reels off tales of life on the road and darker songs that dig way back to Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music as an influence. Most crucially, though, Cameron’s Canadian-ness is just as vital, her imagery conjuring images of the vastness of this massive, humbling country with beauty, poetry and soul. Stylistically, it might not be the most original album, but it’s an incredibly vibrant folk album, so good that you can’t help but think that mainstream success is only a matter of time. -- Adrien Begrand popmatters/feature/188428-the-best-canadian-albums-of-2014/P2/ https://youtube/watch?v=hCGsZnjgRzs
