Hawksley Workman - Meat

Often called eccentric, Hawksley is one of Canada’s most versatile artists, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who produces his own recordings as well as those by the likes of Tegan and Sara and Great Big Sea. The Huntsville, Ont. native is also highly prolific: Meat is his 11th album in 10 years. While Hawksley’s latest features more gritty rockers than glam or cabaret-pop numbers, including “Chocolate Mouth,” there are also some exceptionally pretty tunes such as the sad piano ballad “Song for Sarah Jane.”
