We lost Willie Gordon the other day. He was one of the great Yukon fiddlers. Though he was originally from Inuvik, NWT. He had a very special sound that I will never forget.

Fervor Coulee - roots music opinion review
Cyberspace    14-Jun-11
reviews article 15
"It’s a corker... Apparent from the opening track, the organ-fueled road warrior lament “Honey and Crumbs”, is that Beggs has more homespun charm in her voice than many Appalachian-born singers. Not only does her voice contain attractive, easy warmth, but it has strength and depth lending Beggs the power to authentically convey intense emotions."
