    CD comes with lyric book and recycled cardboard "It's a mesmerizing album and a trip that everyone should take." Jamie Parmenter Vinylchapters
    “ Sleeping Buffalo sets a solemn melodic mood to open what quickly becomes rocking. The driving boogie of Jerkwater Town snarls while Climbing Table Mountain just pulses with a jazzy undertone. Braun has really great phrasing, smoothly rolling over her varied material.” Stuart Derdeyn The Vancouver Sun.



    Through Train Windows is a distinctly Canadian musical mosaic that will send the listener on a journey they will want to take again and again.” Mariko Margetson UK's largest Folk Publication Folk Radio and Vandela Magazine



    "Braun injects a breezy, bluesy cool into the realm of folk narration.” Jonathan Frahm - For Folks Sake

    “Her voice has the viscosity of a jazz crooner, the elegance of a gospel singer, and the heart of a blues artist.” Bryan Rogers

    “a bluesy artist with a siren’s voice. To say I could listen to Braun sing all day would be an understatement. There’s a kind of raw power to her soulful voice.” - Robert Ottone JustPressPlay Review

    An imaginative display of fine musicianship, potent vocals and heartfelt lyrics, talent like hers doesn't exactly come around too often." - Kevin Sellers Music Emission

lyrics

Heaven Only Knows
How would it have been had I not been there
Or maybe somewhere else at the time
How would Mom and Dad have liked it
Had I been a boy or just a man

Heaven only knows the reason it ended up this way
Heaven only know the answer our fears aren’t here to stay

Nothing last forever we all learn that
Sorrows can be castles in the dark
Abandoned and alone falling earthbound
Our destiny we forge here for ourselves

Heaven only knows the reason it ended up this way
Heaven only know the answer our fears get in the way

Clouds float away
They are no longer carrying rain
Instead an array
Of reds brush the skies
Of the setting sun
My setting sun
The setting sun

How would it have been had I not been there
Maybe somewhere else at the time
Nothing last forever we all learn that
Our destiny we forge here for ourselves

Heaven only knows the reason it ended up this way
Heaven only know the answer our fears aren’t here to stay

about

Norine Braun Vancouver, British Columbia

Her signature funky folk-blues sound simply cannot be matched. Best listened to as loud as your neighbours will tolerate. Abortmag

Her music sounds like the union of Nick Cave with Patti Smith & City and Colour deep in the Canadian forests.
