“This veteran of the Toronto music scene explores various musical styles on his recent album, DC. “I wanted to reflect a diverse taste in my love for music,” Christie says. “Each song is unique, but there is a common thread throughout.” The album leads off with this track, which “uses the metaphor of sobriety to celebrate redemption and change.” It blends Christie’s Fender Telecaster and gravel-tinged voice with Memphis-style horns and backing vocals by Laurelle Augustyn and Michelle White. “Gonna lose these blues / Shake this sin / The monkey on your back / This is where we begin.” – Birch Street Radio
