City and Colour Bring Me Your Love 2LP

Bring Me Your Love is the second album by Alexisonfire co-founder Dallas Green's solo project City and Colour, originally released on February 12, 2008. The album features a wide array of instruments not used on his previous recordings (such as harmonica, banjo, drums and lap steel) giving it a more folk-influenced sound. Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip makes an appearance on the album, lending his recognizable vocals to the third verse on the second single, "Sleeping Sickness." The album is named after a short story by Charles Bukowski. It is also a line sung in the closing track, "As Much as I Ever Could."

Bring Me Your Love shows an artist settling nicely into his new gig as an acoustic singer/songwriter. It's both warmer and more intimate than its predecessor Sometimes, but the most notable quality of Bring Me Your Love is the confidence it exudes. Green's voice is still ethereal, but it's also stronger and more self-assured throughout the album; those who are unfamiliar with his work in the raucous post-hardcore group Alexisonfire could be forgiven for thinking that he's a veteran of the acoustic circuit.
