Marshall In the Feigning Summer

Marshall In the Feigning Summer is a 59-song celebration of classic Canadian radio rock and pop, the kind that played at every cottage, campground and summer job in the 80s and 90s. Moist and Amanda Marshall lead the way, with Kim Mitchell, Gowan, Honeymoon Suite, 54-40 and Headstones close behind.

It opens with Amanda Marshall’s “Let It Rain” and moves through Moist’s “Resurrection,” Gowan’s “A Criminal Mind,” 54-40’s “One Gun,” The Grapes Of Wrath’s “I Am Here,” The Watchmen’s “Stereo,” Headstones’ “When Something Stands For Nothing” and Tom Cochrane’s “Sinking Like A Sunset.” The name nods to summers that are never quite as warm as you want them to be, which feels very Canadian. It’s pure CanCon nostalgia: big choruses, guitar solos and songs you didn’t know you knew every word to. Perfect for a long weekend drive, a dock with a cooler or a barbecue where everyone is over forty and very happy about it.
