Paul Brandt—Didn’t even see the dust
One of Canada’s best known country troubadours is back on the road as Paul Brandt takes a new collection of tunes cross country. The seventh album in a collection which he first
Brandt has just released RISK, his was released on September 11th and features the debut single Didn’t even see the dust our selection for tonight.
Brandt has become one of the most recognizable of Canadian country artists over the last few years, from hosting awards shows, to his wide ranging trips across Canada and to the developing world through his charity work, Brandt has found fans at almost every stop.
A strong supporter of the Canadian military, he is frequently found on the support the troop shows that take him to the places where Canadians have been sent into harms way, to bring a bit of the familiar to them. It’s a gesture that surely puts his recordings on the top shelf at the local Canex store providing they have anything left it stock.
He has approached his career on his own terms, leaving the Nashville scene after nine years to return to his roots in Alberta and to make the music that he wants to make and one that resonates with not only his home province but across the land. He was one of the first Canadian country artists to embrace the MP3 revolution and his latest project has been featured prominently on the iTunes website over the last two weeks.
The latest video offering provides and unusual setting for a country song, the winding roads and back lanes of Spain, and seems to fit the tone of the song quite well. The song starts out in a slow, studious manner and then kicks into a rollicking trip, a perfect road trip song that makes you want to hop into the car and hit the highway, much like Brandt has done.
The Risk tour continues through November with the closest that Brandt will be to Prince Rupert being November 27th at the CN Centre in Prince George. It’s part of an ambitious time on the road, taking him from Ontario through to British Columbia.
