Lancashire Telegraph

Canadian born and Nashville based musician Dawson’s name has become synonymous with eclecticism and consummate artistry since he began his performing career some three decades ago, and his latest album for Black Hen Music is a typically wide ranging and soulful affair. Steve’s choice of subject matter ranges from timeless traditional ballads to twenties jazz and subtly memorable ditties such as John Hartford’s “Let Him Go On Mama” and Bobby Charles’ “Small Town Talk,” aided and abetted by top notch sidemen including Tim O’Brien and Fats Kaplin.
