Little Hell by City And Colour
Little Hell is an album by City And Colour, released in 2011. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Fragile Bird”, on 11 lists with a best position of #18.
Little Hell, the third City and Colour album, came out on June 7, 2011, through Dine Alone and Vagrant, and it finds Dallas Green, the Alexisonfire singer and guitarist behind the name, playing most of the instruments himself. He does bring in company: Daniel Romano, Dylan Green, Scott Remila, Nick Skalkos, Misha Bower, Anna Jarvis and Jordan Mitchell all pitch in, and the result is warm, lived-in folk with some grit under the fingernails.
Green's aching voice carries it, and songs like "Fragile Bird" and "The Grand Optimist" give him room to stretch. Reviews were broadly favourable. "Sorrowing Man" found a second life on TV, turning up in One Tree Hill and opening the second season of Rogue. Even the cover has a story: it's an illustration based on Allard Schager's photograph of a tulip field near Alkmaar in North Holland.
