Band MembersGARTH BOURNE: Then And Now --> Buy the CD Review -- GARTH BOURNE -- Then and Now THEN AND NOW Garth Bourne Independent 7-out-of-10 Wow! Tossing Then and Now on the CD player and hearing the opening strains of The Prisoner’s Song was like walking through a time portal and hearing the likes of Charlie Pride or Marty Robbins. The cut is pure, old time country, and that is a refreshing thing in this day and age. While not exactly a household name in country Garth Bourne does have pedigree. In the past he appeared with notable labels such as R.C.A. and United Artists signing him on with the band, Canadian Zephyr. As their lead vocalist Bourne took many of their records to number one gaining a number of Juno and Country Music Award nominations. On this CD Bourne is helped out by The West Hill Billys, a group of musicians including Terry Blankley, who regular readers will recall was born in the Yorkton area, and attended grade school here. Blankley also produced the CD. As a CD, this is pure country. The vocals are clear. The material guitar driven, but never taking front stage over the vocals. The music is a mix of sad ballads, with upbeat cuts, most notably the always recognizable Jambalaya. While many of the 11 songs are covers, something I’m rarely overly excited about, Bourne does have his hand in writing a quartet of the songs including Gone, a song I think is the best cut here. The other songs are A Long Time Ago, Walls and Love, all which reside in the realm of the slow-paced, hurtin’ side of country. Bourne does the sad songs well. I like this CD, but would have inched the rating up a bit more had Bourne written more of the material, since he has a knack for pure country lyrics in the songs he did write. If you like old country, you can’t go wrong with this one.

   About Garth Bourne
Garth Bourne............. Garth started his musical career in the early ‘70’s, after moving from the West Indies to North America. His vocal talent was recognized immediately, with notable labels such as R.C.A. and United Artists signing him on with the band, Canadian Zephyr. As their lead vocalist/bass player and front man, Garth took many of their records to NUMBER 1, several times on the Canadian country music charts. This gained them international notoriety and many Juno and Country Music Award nominations. Garth’s vocal talent was sought after for several commercials, including a global ad for a major soft drink company. He has appeared on several Canadian TV Variety shows, including a two year run on Shaw Cable where he hosted his own country music show, interviewing such notables as Ronnie Hawkins and featured many local musicians. Garth has proven his musical flexibility throughout the years, performing with bands and opening shows for many notables such as: Wilf Carter, Tommy Hunter, “Whispering” Bill Anderson, Freddie Fender, Johnny Paycheck, Stonewall Jackson, Jean Shepherd and several other Opry Stars. The idea to produce a CD of old and original songs came from one time band mate Terry Blankley. Together they spent endless hours in the "SHED" and with the help of some of Canada's top musicians the CD "THEN AND NOW" was produced. Assembled on this CD are a group of legendary musicians that have been captivating audiences throughout the world for many years. These are powerhouse players that include: *Award nominee, Garth Bourne on bass and lead vocals; *Award nominee and winner, The great June Eikhard on fiddle; *Award nominee and winner, Bob Taillefer on steel; *Renowned guitarist Bobby Watson *Award nominee, Terry Blankley ..board; *Matt Travers/John Meydam on drums.
