“usic Review: Dann Downes - New Wolf At The Door by Bob Mersereau
On his new one, New Wolf At The Door, there are a whole bunch of stand-out moments where I found my ears perk up and my head bob with the appropriate "nice one" acknowledgment. Now, Downes has his own way of describing his style, which also works: He calls it a "local and idiosyncratic brand of roots and Northamericana music". I like that, because I also hear some particular Canadian sounds on the disc, reminding me of Lennie Gallant and Ian Tyson, for instance. As for distinctly local, there aren't many referencing the mysterious Eastern Cougar in their tunes. "Nice one," he said, head bobbing.”
