Save This House by Spirit of the West

Save This House, Spirit of the West's fourth studio album, came out on February 20, 1990, the North Vancouver band's first for Warner Music Canada and the first with Linda McRae in the lineup. The songs still lean on traditional folk, but having a major label behind them carried the band to ears far outside the folk-club circuit, and the record became their mainstream breakthrough, going platinum in Canada.

They took it on the road across Canada and over to Britain, where they opened for The Wonder Stuff, and some of them turned up on that band's Welcome to the Cheap Seats EP. Sitting between Old Material 1984–1986 and Go Figure, it marks the point where a folk band began turning into one of the country's big alternative rock draws, and "Home For A Rest" is the song that has kept it alive on the countdowns for years.
