I’ve taken my sweet time coming around to The Rural Alberta Advantage (especially considering how many times I’ve seen their name mentioned in i (heart) music), but I’m trying to make good now by getting on board.

Basically, their debut album, Hometowns, is awesome. A perfect example of this is the driven and bittersweet “Don’t Haunt This Place.” To be honest, I could have chosen just about any track from this excellent release, but I figured this is a good place to start…and start you should. If you’re like me, you don’t know what you’ve been missing.
