Wildwood

PEI trio The Blossoms released their first full album, Wildwood, in September. The album is the follow-up to their popular 2022 Christmas single, “It Snowed All Christmas Day,” which has been streamed in over 50 countries and counting.

Working once again with the label production team from Grant Avenue Studio, they have put together a concise and upbeat collection of 10 original songs, written by their father and co-producer of this project, Wayne Francis.

The Blossoms are sisters Courtney, Caitlin, and Cassie Francis, each taking turns handling lead vocal duties while providing background and harmonies throughout. The vocals were arranged by the album’s co-producer, Amy King.

The songs firmly reside in the folk and roots traditions, with feature tracks such as the straight-ahead folk-rock of “Cloud Nine,” the blues shuffle of “Feline Way,” and the rootsy groove propelling “Lay It Down” among the highlights.

Wildwood is available online at waynefrancis.bandcamp.com and on all major streaming platforms.
