Day I Left Home
I burned everything I own, left it in a pile smoldering Took about on foot out into the wood like an animal Hap'd upon a tree, slept there underneath... See the rest of the song lyrics

    For the most part, Home on Native Land is filled with Gibb's signature breaths of melodic fresh air, healthy for a Canadian folk scene that could use some idiosyncrasy and a dark sense of humour, even if Gibb is only a passing visitor.

    As with previous records, this album features an array of guest musicians, including Rufus Wainwright, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Feist, Ron Sexsmith and the Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant, but these songs remain Gibbs’ from start to end, and reveal his incredible ability to explore different styles while always sounding like himself.

    The Hidden Cameras have finally delivered on that promise with a collection of songs that find the sweet spot between homey and fabulous.

    A sweet, joyously transgressive album.

    Overall Gibb has invited us on an entertaining jaunt through the musical traditions of rural Canada.
