Corb Lund Free In-Store Performance“On his seventh album, ‘Cabin Fever,’ Lund and his band the Hurtin’ Albertans continue their reign of excellence. Written in his cabin in Alberta, as well as New York City, Austin, and Las Vegas, the album takes us on a musical journey of survivalist country funk (“Gettin’ Down On The Mountain”) the vocational risks of planting cadavers set to a swampy stomp (“Dig Gravedigger Dig”) and divine protection against Smokey harassment (“Bible on the Dash”) with aforementioned Hayes Carll sounding like their havin

g a great time. Cabin Fever’ covers a lot of territory but keeps the very natural, very organic. Lund uses his personal influences as guideposts for direction not marketing ideas of genre absolutes or popular trends. You couldn’t ask for a better representation of the richness and depth of contemporary roots music. If this was a just and fair world Lund would be drawing Kenny Chesney crowds in the United States. But it is not that world and, to our benefit, you can still afford to see him at a local venue with better seats and cheaper, better beer.” twangnation.com
