Saturday Sounds - James Keelaghan - Second Hand

James Keelaghan is a Canadian singer-songwriter who now has released more than a dozen albums. Nancy and I saw him for the first time not long after we started dating in 1986. In the intervening years, we've seen him perform at least a dozen times (maybe more, we've lost track). He's a brilliant songwriter and several of his songs have become standards in the small world of Canadian folk music ("Jenny Bryce", "Kiri's Piano", "Cold Missouri Waters", to name a few). 

His new album, Second Hand, has just been released, and it's another good one. All of his albums are available for purchase on his website. History is a good place to start. And if you ever get the chance to see him perform, go. You won't regret it.
