Water in the Ground – Release Date March 3, 2009

Matching pure and ethereal vocals with poetic lyrics and her uncompromising song writing craft, there is no doubt as to why Catherine MacLellan has become one of the most celebrated new singer-songwriters in Canada, and around the world, by her contemporaries and media alike.
 
Voted ‘Critics Favourite New Discovery’ by Penguin Eggs Magazine in 2008, Catherine has quickly built up a loyal fan base and has been a hit with critics worldwide. Her last album Church Bell Blues hit #1 on the iTunes Canada Roots charts, received critical acclaim and comparisons to Joni Mitchell from international magazines such as Q, Maverick, fRoots, the Austin Chronicle, and Boston Globe. She toured with Bruce Cockburn in the USA and with Steve Forbert in the UK, showcased in Paris, Cannes, Berlin, New York, London, and Memphis. 

Water in the Ground is Catherine’s third and highly anticipated release - a stunning collection that features some of the most prominent roots musicians in Canada, including Treasa Levasseur, Justin Rutledge and David Baxter.

A lighter and more cheerful mood is prominent throughout the CD. From the first track the catchy “Take A Break”   to the finale “Flowers on Your Grave”, Catherine manages to help the listener get lost in the songs and musical conversations. It is like passing time with an old friend.

“Here's a vote for Catherine MacLellan, whose upcoming third album will melt more than a few hearts this miserable winter.”
– John Law, The Niagara Falls Review

Water in the Ground is Catherine’s new album - a brilliant new collection of songs that is a testament to her reputation as a prolific and gifted songwriter.
