Failer by Kathleen Edwards
Failer is an album by Kathleen Edwards, released in 2003. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Six O'Clock News”, on 9 lists with a best position of #59.
Failer was Kathleen Edwards' debut, a record the Canadian singer-songwriter first put out on her own before MapleMusic Recordings picked it up for a wider release and Zoë Records took it overseas. It's alt-country with gravel in its boots, and the comparison critics reached for, Suzanne Vega meets Neil Young, gets it about right: plainspoken, wry storytelling over guitars that sound like they've been left out in the rain.
"Six O'Clock News" and "Hockey Skates" were the singles, and together with "Mercury" they earned her a Juno nomination for Songwriter of the Year. The album itself was up for the Juno for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year, Solo. Back to Me came next.
