    The production (also by Linden), audio mix, playing, and songwriting capture the shared spirit of the trio who have seldom sounded better.

    The album mines go-to country clichés like driving and women (“Put your sugar down on my front seat, cuz you truly know what’s good for me,” Wilson implores in the opening track, North), but for the most part the songwriting is diverse and mature.

    While it may lack the sustained ear-catching excellence of Kings and Queens, South is another solid addition to what is now one of the strongest discographies in Canadian roots music.

    South is very much a mixed bag. A strong mood is set early on and maintained through to the end, and the good songs are strong. The weak ones, however, are unmemorable indeed.
