A particularly sweet note on Silhoutette, Catherine MacLellan’s latest recording, is her rendition of  “Snowbird”.

It’s a stripped down version of the Canadian classic, featuring Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy. She delivers it like she owns it and in a way she does, It was written by her father, the late lamented Gene MacLellan. The recording captures her best qualities effortlessly – elegantly woven songs, amemorable blend of heartfelt powerfully introspective lyrics and catchy melodies.
