When
Raine Maida of
Our Lady Peace messaged
Billy the Kid through
MySpace in the Winter of 2007, there was no way to know what would
become of their friendship. How can one predict working with Garth
Hudson of The Band and Bob Dylan, Stan "The Baron" Behrens of Ruth
Brown, the Four Tops and Willie Dickson, and Randy Cooke, drummer to
Ringo Starr and Dave Stewart all within a single calendar year? From
the bedroom of her Ontario apartment, she began scrawling on her
bedsheets and walls the lyrics and chord changes that would eventually
become "The Lost Cause", an autobiographical, self-released manifesto
for any so-called "Lost Cause" who is willing to listen.
Ray Lamontagne, Kathleen Edwards, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Band, Tegan and Sara, Brooke Fraser, Ryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen
