Asking for Flowers, Kathleen Edwards' third studio album, came out on March 4, 2008, and the Canadian singer-songwriter arrived with a sharper pen than ever. Critics heard kinship with Back to Me from 2005 but a more grown-up writer and singer, and the songs are dotted with figures from the Canadian news, from murder victim Alicia Ross to former hockey player Marty McSorley.
Her sound has been likened to Suzanne Vega meets Neil Young, and it fits: plainspoken, country-dusted storytelling with rock grit underneath. The title track and "I Make The Dough, You Get The Glory" are the songs that made the countdowns. The album went to number one on the Top Heatseekers chart, reached 102 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize. Voyageur came next.
