Knox follows his own path
--taken from: The Record (read more here)
by Neil McDonald
Though Knox could conceivably have played all the instruments himself, he said he wanted to pull in a number of his musical friends to help put the album together.
"I would always have friends come by," he said, "because I find it's really important to play music with people even when you're recording, if you can. So I was lucky enough to have Andrew Scott from Sloan come down and play on the whole second half of the album, basically, and a couple of the other songs, too. And my friend Darcy Yates who's in a band called Flash Lightnin' played some bass on it here and there and the Zeus guys did some harmonies, too, because we'd always be overlapping in the studio."

Rob Lemon: Into the Wilderness

Longtime Halifax music scene staple Rob Lemon plays music for the love of it.
by Adria Young
He remembers Sloan's Smeared CD release show at Club Flamingo, he's seen country legend John Prine seven times and he's witnessed the industry shift from label to independent. In terms of making his own music, he says "the straw that broke the camel's back" was the first Blackpool show he attended, one of Halifax's most popular '90s rock bands: "That's when I realized I wanted to stay in this town and play music and that's all I wanted to do."
