Re. the 1971 David Wiffen album on Fantasy Records… As one reviewer recently commented, "Its complex arrangements sneak around behind seemingly simple songs which gives the whole thing an incredible depth. Stealing the show throughout is Wiffen's incredible baritone. It's smooth but fractured. It's the kind of voice you wish you had. ...As you'll never own his talent, buy the record and get lost in the wonder and heartbreak..."

Hey Ray, Thanks so much for a great 40 minutes this morning and a special thank you for playing David Wiffen's first album. I have never had a chance to listen to the album in its entirety so this is a treat! I have such good memories of the David Wiffen tribute at CityFolk! It was an incredible evening of well deserved accolades for one of Canada's finest singer songwriters!

Thanks Joyce! Shawn gets credit for choosing the 40 Minutes - I only melded it together… Glad you liked the “Wiffenfest” segment. 🙂

Nice to be reminded of Mr. Wiffen's 1971 LP, but he did have an earlier LP, "At The Bunkhouse Coffeehouse, Vancouver, BC", from 1965.

Thanks, Jake. Yeah, I mentioned that, and the track I ended the show with was from the Bunkhouse album. 👍🏻🙂
