Compared to the likes of Shawn Colvin, Lucinda Williams and Joni Mitchell, Lynn Miles is considered one of Canada's finest singers/songwriters. Her latest album, Love Sweet Love, is a road album. Songs like “Night Drive”, “Sweet and Tender Heart”, “8 Hour Drive” and “Never Coming Back” trace the metaphorical journey of the human heart, sketching a roadmap of modern relationships and heartache.
Miles recorded Love Sweet Love with a first-rate collection of Canadian musicians: Unravel (Lynn’s previous and Juno-winning album) producer, guitarist, longtime-friend and collaborator Ian LeFeuvre and drummer Peter Von Althen (both of the Canadian band Starling); Chelsea Bridge double-bassist John Geggiem; Prairie Oyster guitarist Keith Glass and violinist James Stephens all lend their talents to Love Sweet Love. The result of this collaboration is a warm, hopeful sound in perfect harmony with Miles’ smart, heartbreaking lyrics.
