A lot of time passed (three releases including this one since 2006) without a major label picking up on The Rural Alberta Advantage. Their spin on folk spins me just the right way. From the looks of the buy link the band might be signed to emusic officially starting November 11th. The drums sound almost angry and the singer sounds almost like a more relaxed Billy Corgan. The most I listened to this album the happier I became with it. Try that on for size.
