About the Artist
"Diego James" Bate is a farmer-rancher/singer-songwriter in Saskatchewan near the Cypress Hills Provincial Park. As a solo artist--a poet with musical abilities "thrown in", he enjoys the craft of song-writing and likes to sing and play as the spirit leads him.
Product Description
A country, country rock album professionally produced and recorded. Featured are hard hitting, cutting edge songs forged in the furnace of life. The title track is a historical account of the origins of Canada's North West Mounted Police and their assignment to the Cypress Hills, today located in the Province of Saskatchewan. Included are references to "a First Nations Homeland"--"the Cypress Hills Massacre" -- "Piapot" --"Cpl. Walsh" "Macdonald" and "Treaty Number Seven". "Your Eyes" is a "rockabilly" song that can liven any setting, while "Play Me a Lonely Song" is filled with the pain and loneliness of a busted relationship. You'll love the catching melody of "The Edge of Your Love" and ponder the brutal honesty of "Don't Take it to Heart". All the songs are refreshingly original and you'll return to this c.d. often. This c.d. has received "airplay" and has sold into the European Market. This album is not "traditional" country, there are no fiddles or steel guitars--it is country by theme and feel with hints of "rock" and even "pop".
