Blues vet and Nova Scotia import Morgan Davis releases a love letter to his adopted province.

“Nova Scotia hasn’t just been a way for Davis to escape Toronto’s decrepit public transit system and oppressively muggy summers. It’s also been his muse, and his guide, for his latest album, At Home in Nova Scotia – and is he ever. Everything about the album is Bluenose to the core – from the songs that proudly trumpet that ship’s presence on the Nova Scotian licence plate, to the photos of abandoned boats along the South Shore in the liner notes. And of course, there are the side players, a virtual who’s-who of the local blues cabal – everyone from John Campbelljohn and Matt Minglewood to longtime collaborator Geoff Arsenault and Davis’ 18-year-old daughter, Rosie.”
