Artist: Memory Day, Album: Jenkin's Farm, Song: Figure It Out

Memory Day were a rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia.  They were Charlie Mackenzie, Lanny Hussey, Todd Oliver and Scott Fletcher.  Their music was a blend of folk and rock.  The band had a song called, Who Is They, featured on an Indie Can  sampler from 1992.  After some digging, I discovered their one and only release from 1992 entitled, Jenkin's Farm.  Apparently, the band took a year to record the album in an old movie theatre in Vancouver.  It's a very strong release with a number of great tracks including this one entitled, Figure It Out.  The album is available for download from Itunes and Cdbaby.com.  Unfortunately, these are likely the only places to hear a sample of the song as well.  The band does have a Myspace page which includes some of the other album tracks (http://www.myspace.com/memoryday).  Charlie Mackenzie is still recording as a solo artist with at least two albums to his credit.  Some of the members of Memory Day are still playing with him as well.  You can follow Charlie at http://www.myspace.com/charliemackenziemusic.  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
