Now and Again, the 1989 album from Kelowna, British Columbia's the Grapes of Wrath, was made in an old church in Woodstock, New York, a place said to be haunted, with Anton Fier producing for Nettwerk. It was their first record with Vince Jones on keyboards, joining founders Kevin Kane and brothers Tom and Chris Hooper, and the guest list adds real class: Chuck Leavell, Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Jane Scarpantoni.
The sound is warm, chiming jangle-pop with folk-rock roots, rich harmonies and a wistful ache that suits the setting. "All the Things I Wasn't" became one of their biggest hits, and "What Was Going Through My Head" and "Do You Want to Tell Me" followed, backed with B-sides cut for CBC's Brave New Waves, including a cover of Paul McCartney's "Let Me Roll It". It went platinum in Canada, the best-selling album the band has made.
