National Dust - ...Blind Luck Ain't No Luck At All (1998)

Alt country / roots rock band from Calgary, Alberta, formed by Lorrie Matheson in the late 1990s.

Carrying on with favourites of ours, here's local sweetheart/curmudgeon Lorrie Matheson and his alt-country all star band, National Dust. After his short exile in Edmonton with Pal Joey, Lorrie picked up with alumni of the Burners, the Nex'd, and the R&B Keepers, and put out this gem. This is a nice progression from Fire Engine Red, with "Sadie Hawkins" being a highlight in Matheson's songwriting (although, looking through the liner notes we're reminded that Brooker Buckingham and James Hayden share the music writing credit).
