The oddyssey that is Cameron Molloy’s career began on the sunset side of the Canadian Rockies. Days are shorter in the shadows of tall places and any serious artist will tell you that true insight, like daylight becomes precious when there is less of it. Such environments may be essential to the development of storytelling talent and the revealing of an innate need to waste no time to get to the heart of the matter.
I read a lot of Zane Gray, Jack London, Louis L’Amour, Rudyard Kipling and Robert W Service and listened to a lot of Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson, Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter, Lennon and McCartney and Hoyt Axton. Authors, poets and songwriters who waste no time getting to the heart of the matter.
The songs on this cd trace the first 20 plus years of my song writing career which started in earnest on Kinbasket Forestry lookout over looking the upper reaches of the Columbia River in the Rockie Mountain Trench in British Columbia. The third song on this cd, Ten More Miles, was written on that lookout in the summer of 1971 and was influenced by Robert W Services epic poems of the Klondike Gold Rush, Jesse Winchester’s beautiful Brand New Tennessee Waltz and Dire Wolf from Working Mans Dead.the journey from that point led to 20years on the road as a solo artist and front my own bands and culminated with a year and a half spent in Nashville pursuing a career as a full time songwriter.
The idea for this cd came about when a friend suggested I return to my roots in western Canada for a summer tour, this summer of 2018. “You need a new cd” someone said, put together a compilation so I took the 20 most played songs on my Reverbnation page, edited a couple out and added a couple in and this is cd “Westwind Rider” is the result.
17 of the songs are original, both solo and co write. 3 are covers. “The Older I Get” written by Tony Martin and legendary Nashville songwriter Sterling Whipple who took me under his wing and mentored me in Nashville, Pancho and Lefty written by Towns Van Zandt who told me in a telephone interview that I “had nailed it” and Ghost Riders in the Sky by Stan Jones which I originally learned as a kid from an old Vaughn Monroe 78rpm record and has been in my live repetoir for 25 years and was my first major Canadian hit are the only cover songs I have ever recorded over the length of my career.
The original songs on this cd were Born out of the Rockie Mountains, from the mining and logging towns I grew up in and the vast Canadian prairie where my dad first came west to in 1921 as a12 year old kid to work on harvest crews.
Give it a listen, I think you will like it, visit www.cameronmolloymusic.com for more information and songs. Enjoy, thank you for taking the time to read this, my hope is the songs on this cd will bring you joy and peace, touch your heart, make you laugh, maybe bring a tear to your eye and remind you of a long lost love or a sunny day. Peace and Good Will. Cameron Molloy.
