Artist: Graham Brown & The Prairie Dogs, Album: Do What You Should, Song: Truth Denied

"You want answers and I got questions both of us ignore."  Graham Brown is a singer songwriter from Vancouver, British Columbia.  He was actually born in Scotland but came to Canada as a child.  He grew up in Edmonton and was one of the founding members of the band, Jr. Gone Wild (see blog 8/17/11), during the eighties.  When he was done with that band, he moved West to Vancouver and started a new band called, Brilliant Orange.  He also released three albums with the band, The Happyman, during the nineties before embarking on his own solo career.  He has played shows internationally and has received a ton of critical acclaim.  He has five solo releases to date and his most recent album was released in 2011.  Do What You Should, was his fourth album released in 2008 with his backing band, The Prairie Dogs.  It is a really nice blend of country influenced songs but the real barn blazer is this album closer, entitled, Truth Denied.  You can check it out on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UBtGgwViBY&list=UUppSJ2-WmKhVgELd07MXO3w&index=2&feature=plcp).  Graham appears to be playing locally these days and you can follow him at http://www.grahambrownsongs.com/.  You can purchase the album, Do What You Should, on Itunes.  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
