About John K. Samson's Provincial
John K. Samson, singer-songwriter for critically lauded indie rock band The Weakerthans, makes his full length solo debut with Provincial. The record contains newly recorded versions of songs from Samson’s previous two acclaimed EPs, “City Route 85” and “Provincial Road 222,” alongside a collection of beautifully evocative new tracks. Provincial travels four routes woven into the prairie landscape of Manitoba, the Canadian province where Samson lives. It finds familiar landmarks and forgotten ones; it mines the precise and particular.
