As noted yesterday, the Toronto-based folk/country harmony trio The Good Lovelies have been nominated for a Juno Award in the Contemporary Roots Album category for their 2023 release We Will Never Be the Same. The group consists of Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore. They have been recording together since 2006 with this latest offering their 10th album.
At the 2010 Juno Awards, their album Good Lovelies won the Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year – Group so this is not their first kick at the can.
I had a chance to listen to the new release this morning and it is gorgeous, with the kind of vocal harmonies you would expect. And, as their website says:
This new album is both a return to a more elemental, acoustic-based musical platform reaching back to the early days of the Good Lovelies, as well as an immersive emotional experience crafted by three seasoned songwriters who bring their own real-life stories in all their dynamism and messy complexity to the fore.

Lots of great cuts here. I particularly liked this one not least for really cool rhythms pushing it along.
