My experience seeing The Weather Station live mirrors my experience with their lovely sophomore album All Of It Was Mine. When I saw Tamara Lindeman’s project for the first time, it started out with a single whisper from a friend; “I really want to see this band… I’ve heard great things.” All these separate whispers built up to a packed to capacity theatre with a line-up around back.
Similarly, the sparse whispers of acoustic guitar, of banjo, an occasional snare drum and lilting soft voices accumulated to a warm and intimate collection of ten folk songs. Joined by friends Misha Bower and Lisa Bozikovic in quiet harmonies, recorded and assisted by the incomparable Daniel Romano, All Of It Was Mine is an album that will stand the test of time.
Single “Everything I Saw,” streaming above, can be downloaded here (right click, save as). All Of It Was Mine is available via You’ve Changed Records and can be purchased on Zunior.
