Lee Harvey Osmond - Beautiful Scars - 2015
Produced by Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) in the
intimacy of his Toronto Roncesvalle studio, the humanity of the album is
like the warmth of blood that rushes to the cut: a sudden alive jolt in
the middle of peril and uncertainty; a suspension of possibility that
anything can happen next. Redolent with swooning horns and guitars that
bob and weave, Lee Harvey Osmond’s voice – forever the hallmark of his
sound which spans over three decades of work – sounds, here, like a warm
hand to the forehead, an arm on the arm of the stricken, a comforting
growl at the heart of a screaming world.
At once evoking Howlin’ Wolf, Mike Scott and Roy Loney, Beautiful Scars
bends and twists and stretches and squeezes Lee Harvey Osmond’s deep
baritone – the producer treating it as if caged in a transistor radio,
bathed in echo from above, or sunk in the muck of distortion. The
strength of the songs notwithstanding, Beautiful Scars is a fascinating vocal journey to rank among the great sonic Canadian records of our time.
