Album Review - Kevin Hearn - Night Light

Since 1995, Kevin Hearn has been playing keyboards for Barenaked
Ladies, but those who aren't fans of the Canadian alt-pop band's goofy
antics and silly songs shouldn't hold Hearn's regular gig against him.
His solo outings have been far more serious affairs brought about, at
least in part, by the tragic events of his own life. His sophomore
effort H-Wing, for example, was written while he was undergoing
treatment for chronic myelogenous leukemia, a form of blood cancer,
and the album understandably reflected his tortured emotions about the
experience. Hearn's latest outing Night Light is considerably lighter
in tone, containing reflections upon past relationships with the type
of honest, heartfelt introspection that even a strange,
bluegrass-tinged cover of Black Sabbath's War Pigs can't destroy.
