Matt Mays, Sarah McLachlan, Ashley MacIsaac and the sound of the province. A kitchen party in a playlist.
Nova Scotia is a 72-song love letter to Maritime and Canadian music, made by the sea. Matt Mays, Sarah McLachlan and The Trews each bring five songs, April Wine adds four, and Classified, Melanie Doane and Sloan bring three each. It opens with Bruce Guthro’s “Disappear,” then moves into Sarah McLachlan’s “Adia” and Jimmy Rankin’s “Followed Her Around.”
The range is a perfect snapshot of the province: Ria Mae’s pop gem “Ooh Love,” Ashley MacIsaac’s fiddle-fuelled “The Devil In The Kitchen,” Wintersleep’s “Weighty Ghost,” Daniel James McFadden’s “Goin Back (The Wolfville Song)” and Neon Dreams’ “Life Without Fantasies.” There’s Celtic tradition, 70s arena rock, 90s Halifax indie and modern hip-hop, all from people who know what salt air smells like. Perfect for a drive along the South Shore, a kitchen party, a homesick evening away from the Maritimes or showing visitors what Nova Scotia sounds like. Pour something local, crank the fiddle and enjoy.
