Reviews and Presskit: https://www.reidjamieson.com/bio.htm
Reid Jamieson is an old fashioned heartbreaker with a knack for writing instantly classic songs, and delivering them with a rare vocal intensity. His second solo album showcases Reid's choirboy ways, therapeutic lyrics and country-flavoured pop hooks. The Unavoidable Truth was produced by Josh Finlayson (Gord Downie, Skydiggers) and features the stellar talents of some of Canada's brightest stars:
Sarah Harmer, Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco), Dave Clark (Woodchoppers, Rheostatics),
Peter Elkas, Mia Sheard and more. Piano, banjo, accordion, pedal steel and heavenly harmonies make for a full bodied departure from Reid's critically acclaimed solo acoustic EP The Noise In My Chest. The truth is, once you've let this blue eyed troubadour into your record collection he'll be sure to work hard at making himself at home in your heart.
