Kev Corbett
SON OF A RUDDERLESS BOAT
(Little Red Canon Music)
It’s probably not easy to sound as comfortable before a microphone as Kev Corbett does, but the Halifax singer-songwriter has a way of making his conversational songs sound immediate and fresh, like the lyrics are spilling forth in a brand new way every time.
You can hear hints of the masters, like Kristofferson and Prine, in Corbett’s odes to the good life and one-of-a-kind characters, but his voice is his own, and his observations absorbing.
