Album Review: Time Out for Tomorrow by Jerry Leger (8/10)


"... a strong effort that echoes Rolling Thunder-era Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, vintage Springsteen and The Band."


This Canadian artist returns with a strong effort that echoes Rolling Thunder-era Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, vintage Springsteen and The Band. Heady comparisons aside, Leger carves a path that stands on its own. His stories are compelling and vivid and his backing by The Situation is diverse and rolls with each thematic tide. Highlights include the legato-infused poetry of “Justine,” the awkward break-up song “Between the Lines,” the country rocker “Burchell Lake” and the pensive “I Would.” Cowboy Junkies’ Michael Timmins places Leger’s expressive and rustic voice front and center and the overall feel is organic and very live.
