Bruce Cockburn, Wailin’ Jennys win Junos

As usual, all the Juno Award categories that I actually have any interest in (Roots/Traditional, blues, world, etc.) were awarded the night before the televised award show, thus relieving me of any reason to pay attention, let alone tune in tomorrow.

Congratulations to Bruce Cockburn who won the Roots/Traditional (solo) award for Small Source of Comfort (click here for my review) and to the Wailin’ Jennys who won the Roots/Traditional (group) award for Bright Morning Stars (click here for my review).

Congratulations also to True North Records which released both albums.

The Good Lovelies and Amelia Curran win Junos

As per usual, all the Juno categories that I actually have any interest in (Roots/Traditional, blues, world, etc.) were awarded before the televised award show, thus relieving me of any reason to tune in tonight.

Congratulations to the winners of the Roots/Traditional categories; both of which have been written about on this blog. The Good Lovelies won the group award for their self-titled Good Lovelies, and Amelia Curran won the solo award for Hunter Hunter.
