Montreal tunesmith extraordinaire Jimmy Goodrich, purveyor of gorgeous melody and raw lyric, has for more than 10 years been dropping a trail of astonishing performances and superb recordings from one end of the globe to the other. While coloured by influences as disparate as Chet Baker, Kate Bush, Elliot Smith and Jeff Buckley, the music of Jimmy Goodrich nevertheless defies all comparisons or flavours of the day and remains uniquely his own. Perhaps the J.D. Salinger of the music world, Goodrich has been quietly creating in the shadows of heartache, whimsy and wanderlust, emerging once in a while to state his musical case before vanishing wordlessly into the ether.
