Product Description Building on a Vancouver tribute concert that Songlines owner Tony Reif organized back in 1999, Poor Boy features studio recordings of mostly Vancouver and Seattle artists drawn from jazz, folk and indie-rock scenes. A keen sense of absence and its flip side, an intimate if ghostly presence, is perhaps the central Drake trope, the thing that, once felt, seems to pull the listener ever deeper into his world of transience and permanence. Poor Boy confirms its expressive potential for musicians drawn to his vision and capable of giving it their own voice. This is music that truly crosses styles. TRACK LISTING: 1.
