Co-founder of the Juno-award winning group The Wailin" Jennys, Cara Luft has returned to her solo roots. Assembling a cast of characters from some of Canada"s top folk and rock groups - including producer Neil Osborne (54-40), multi-instrumentalist Hugh McMillan (Spirit of the West, James Keelaghan), violist/fiddler Richard Moody (The Bills), Winnipeg session drummer/percussionist Christian Dugas (Madrigaia, Alana Levandoski), and mix engineer Warne Livesey (Matthew Good, Midnight Oil, The The). Cara"s new album is a cornucopia of sonic delight. A bit of Carole King meets early Zeppelin with a dash of Sigur Ros, and songs ranging from country (There"s a Train) to folk (Wilcox), roots rock (Falling Away) and traditional (Black Water Side), with a modern spiritual (Jerusalem), The Light Fantastic is a crossover album with excellent airplay potential. Her original songs are underpinned and anchored by finely honed evocative lyrics, the entire album replete with deft musicianship and sensitive, effective arrangements.
