Gospel First Nation by William Prince - Uhune

ALBUM

Upon the release of his stunning 2020 sophomore album Reliever, Manitoba country-rock crooner William Prince entered the echelon of Canada’s most celebrated singer-songwriters, with its lead single “The Spark” earning him the 2020 SOCAN Songwriting Prize. But on his second release of the year, he offers a comforting antidote to COVID-induced anxiety by wrapping his warm blanket of a baritone around the gospel sing-alongs he heard as a child while attending his family’s chapel in Peguis First Nation. On Gospel First Nation, hallowed hymns like “When He Cometh” and “Send the Light” are reborn as dust-kicking country standards that sound equally at home in the roadhouse and in the pews. But these traditional tunes are complemented by a handful of new selections—like the uplifting, autobiographical title track and Saskatchewan songwriter Bob Norman’s addiction-recovery anthem “Higher Power”—that ground gospel’s age-old themes of struggle and salvation in the contemporary Indigenous experience.
