John K. Samson (of the Weakerthans) and the Provincial Band March 10, 2012

John K. Samson, singer-songwriter for critically lauded indie rock band The Weakerthans, released his first full length solo album, entitled Provincial, on January 24 via Epitaph-Anti Records. The record contains newly recorded versions of songs from Samson’s previous two acclaimed EPs, “City Route 85” and “Provincial Road 222,” alongside a collection of beautifully evocative new tracks. Provincial travels four routes woven into the prairie landscape of Manitoba, the Canadian province where Samson lives. It finds familiar landmarks and forgotten ones; it mines the precise and particular.
