    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

about

Rock The Rolling Reviews "Funky jazz with a poetic theme Norine Braun is a queen of modern day blues/jazz royalty. Spicy alternative jazz brings vibrant descriptions of the world and our natural surroundings. I love the low tones in Brauns voice. Braun slides in to the genre of easy listening, jazz funk. It’s a nice mix, not muddy or scattered." Sherryl Craig Nashville Music Guide

“Rock The Rolling” features a fusion jazz-flavored tune, with almost hip-hop-like spoken word lyrics mixed with melodic vocals. Randall Redic Tattoo (dot) com

This album was produced by multi talented and Juno nominated Adam Popowitz, who is also the bass and lead guitar player on the recordings. Popowitz produced another of Brauns albums called “Gone To The Spirits” which was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award in 2018. Rock the Rolling features tenor sax extraordinaire Steve Hilliam (Colin James, Otis Rush, Gino Vanelli). Words and Music Norine Braun.

lyrics

Rock The Rolling

I get lonely on a Sunday night
These itchy feet got to get it right yeah
Take the train so I’ll get there slow you know
Rock the rolling and we’ll smoke the flow

Gonna find it, gonna ride the swell
Uninvited but I’m a guest ouzel

Traversed wide the great plain
Took the dark pains
Hid them inside
The curtained wall
You fooled them all
Despite the insight
Equal and appalled
The dripping brow
Lends a meaning for the tears
Miles from here
The conductor
Enlightened us all
The landmark
Like a bulbous scar
Thick and coarse
Strangely a stranger on my own land
You give me your weathered hand

Gonna find it, gonna ride the swell
Uninvited but I’m a guest ouzel


Around Sioux Lookout
The stories they told us
How to run away from the freezing rain
Down Tamarack lane
You the only one
To lose your leaves
Off the page
Falling, drifting, calling
My name
A thousand times
I find myself
Here back again
Watching through windows
Looking for friends
Someone who sees me as I am
And tells me that I can
That my place here has a reason
My time here is the season
For letting go
And this train I ride, this train I ride
Is gonna find it
©Norine Braun

Norine Braun image

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.
