Like any painter worth his salt, Jimmy Rankin knows how to make a
lasting impression. Except that, as a man who has won four SOCAN-sponsored
ECMA-and-Juno Songwriter Of The Year Awards for the chart-topping "Fare
Thee Well Love," "You Feel The Same Way Too," "Followed Her Around" and
"Midnight Angel," his canvas isn't restricted to an easel and a few
tubes of paint.
It's framed by experience -- and depending on how the Cape Breton native
channels his idea -- a masterstroke of an alt. country,
adult-contemporary or rock-flavored arrangement depicting his life,
emotions and observations with resonating finesse.
Just hand him a guitar -- preferably an acoustic Gibson; give him a
little think-time and watch Jimmy -- no, hear him -- weave some aural
magic.
"To me, writing a song is almost like creating a painting," notes Jimmy,
who offers 13 picture-perfect portraits of sonic splendor on his new
album Edge Of Day.
