With the 1994 release of Gabriola VOR1XO, British Columbia folksinger Bob Bossin returned to recording after being away from the studio for fifteen years. Accompanied by friends and guest musicians galore, Bossin, founder of the legendary Toronto-based Stringband, starts off the album with "Sulphur Passage," a protest song about logging in Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island. After this captivating start, the album meanders through a delightful set of original songs, some whimsical, some profound. Fans will be delighted to listen to Bossin once again. And for any non-Canadians who are grappling with the album's title, Gabriola is the name of the island on which Bossin lives, and V0R 1X0 is its Canadian postal code.
