Review: Windover is a Canadian alt-country artist. Each song packs a punch & draws you in, dealing with the realities 0f love won and, mostly, lost. Windover’s band gives the songs an immediate sonic appeal, particularly for anyone who appreciates classic roots-rock sounds. As a songwriter, Windover emphasizes melody and hooks above all else, with a little twang for good measure.
If You Like: teve Earle, Neil Young, Howe Gelb, Jeff Tweedy
