Salt Spring songster and filmmaker Peter Prince’s life and travels inspire a flock of new songs on his latest release, BORN TO FLY.
“Over the Himalayas here come the birds of heaven,” he sings in Shangri-La as Tara Maclean provides vocal harmonies. The song recalls his adventures in Bhutan shooting a documentary about the Black Necked Cranes and the tiny kingdom’s enchanting beauty and culture.
In The Tongan Way, his fun sense of wonder and openness transport you to the friendly South Pacific isles to discover him and his buddy Siopé, “fishing by flashlight” in shark infested waters.
In the ear-catching Curly Blue, “Summer breeze and sun kissed seas” stir up the fires of love as Ian Van Wyck’s double bass grooves with Laurent Boucher’s drums; and Doug Cox’s dobro-guitar dovetails riffs with Bruce Everett’s harmonica.
In Beautiful Dancer, a tale of unrequited love, his voice resonates with warm, sinewy strength, “Because we didn’t destroy it, our love lives on and on,” as George Crotty’s cello dances on the waltz-like rhythm of Peter’s guitar.
His staccato finger-picking, vivid imagery and upbeat gratitude for the bitter and the sweet inform the title cut, “Born to fly, it’s just another long goodbye.”
The piano-led Sea Wolf pays homage to the aquatic wolf and TAHAKWIA, a renowned Salt Spring born Cowichan medicine woman who called the wolves her friends, “And I saw your footprints in the snow. Ahh TAHAKWIA, in the dream of a Sea Wolf.”
As Prince mines the depths of the heart for real truth, meaning and story emerge in his intimate, cross-cultural portrayals of love and change, striking emotional chords that resonate deeply with listeners
BORN TO FLY is the product of a dozen years of sporadic studio work creating magical musical moments — sharpening the knives and sculpting the sound waves. Produced by Prince, the recordings capture him performing solo and with musical friends. The collaborators who enrich the tracks with their artistry include: Ian Van Wyck on bass, Laurent Boucher on drums/percussion, George Crotty on cello, Bruce Everett on flute/harmonica, Henry Boudin on saxophone, Brent Shindell on acoustic/electric guitar, Doug Cox on dobro guitar, Ken Ferris on mandolin, Lorne Burns on drums, Bruce Cameron on percussion, Jane Phillips on cello, Sivalla and Tara MacLean on supporting vocals.
