Corb Lund is a Canadian roots-country singer/songwriter whose third album, Five Dollar Bill (2002), established him as a favorite among critics and Americana music enthusiasts in his home country, the U.S., and in Europe. His idiosyncratic take on the genre is deeply inspired by the Western Canadian frontier and the lives of its cowboys and ranch hands. In addition to songwriting and recording, he is an activist for literacy on the prairie and a booster of his fellow songwriters, as evidenced by his 2022 covers album Songs My Friends Wrote. His rich, reedy baritone owes as much to ’50s rockabilly as it does Hank Snow and folk music, a debt that’s evident on 2015’s The Weight of the Gun, as well as on 2020’s Agricultural Tragic and 2024’s El Viejo, a ramshackle acoustic album recorded in his living room. Lund is deeply loved by his countrymen and women; he was voted 2017’s Roots Solo Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards despite not having a record to promote.
