Synopsis

Album Description
1993 album for the successful Canadian Folk/Country outfit. North Country solidifies the group's wholesome reputation. You can always count on The Rankins for at least one exquisite, stand-out pop melody per recording, that one here is the title track's tribute to Canadian wilderness. The voices of Cookie, Heather, and Raylene Rankin blend effectively with an intuitive sense of harmony. These are pure, attractive voices, but with a certain lack of emotional depth that parallels Jimmy and John Morris Rankin's sometimes over-sweetened, keyboard-dominated instrumentation.

If you are going to own only one CD by the Rankin Family...this is the one. Not that the others are any lesser quality but their harmonies on this are haunting.

"The Rankin Family is a little known group from Cape Breton. Their music is excellent for celtic music. This album includes North Country, Lisa Brown, the hilarious Mull River Shuffle, and Rise Again which had lots of radio play in the early 1990's. It is definantly a cd must have for every Canadian."
