From [Here] magazine: "Fortune's Favor, while still Celtic in nature and close to the band's roots, includes a few more rock-inspired songs than usual. "This is by far the most rock 'n' roll record, and we're coming off the back of our most traditional record," says Doyle. "One is just a roll off the back of the other." The sound was largely inspired by long-time friend of GBS, Hawksley Workman. Doyle said the five thought it would be interesting to allow an album to be steered by someone else for a change of pace, and Workman was the perfect guy for the job. "We've known Hawksley for years. He was available and eager, and we kept trying to hook up. After a cold beer at the Calgary Folk Festival, we decided that now is the time," Doyle chuckles."

I always suspected that the beer gardens were the real boardroom of the folk festival.
ReplyDeleteAin't it the truth! We'll be doing some podcasts about artists who ended up collaborating because of meeting at the folk fest (and the beer garden)....
