      build
      a
      horse
      is
      an
      excellent
      album
     
     
      from
      the
      Tuesdays
      -
      all
      the
      more
     
     
      impressive
      for
      being
      recorded
      over
     
     
      three
      nights
      by
      a
      band
      only
      together
     
     
      for
      five
      months.
      The
      album
      showcases
     
     
      a
      more
      thoughtful
      side
      of
      the
     
     
      Tuesdays,
      one
      that
      was
      not
      as
      obvious
     
     
      during
      the
      up-tempo
      fun
      of
      the
     
     
      Charlottetown
      country
      group’s
      live
     
     
      performances.
      Slower,
      mellow
      songs
     
     
      like
      “That’s
      alright,”
      “Let’s
      build
      a
     
     
      horse,”
      and
      “Don’t
      know
      why,”
      have
      a
     
     
      beautiful,
      intimate
      feeling
      to
      them,
     
     
      while
      “Tricked
      you,”
      one
      of
      the
      stand-
     
     
      out
      songs
      of
      the
      album,
      is
      as
      devastat-
     
     
      ingly
      sad
      as
      the
      slow
      trickle
      of
      John
     
     
      Mullins’
      lap
      steel
      guitar.
      There
      is
      a
     
     
      warmth
      which
      emanates
      from
      nearly
     
     
      every
      song
      on
      this
      album;
      a
      fullness
     
     
      which
      comes
      from
      Craig
     
     
      Macpherson’s
      accordion,
      Dan
      Currie’s
     
     
      banjo
      pickin’,
      and
      _
      Kristina
     
     
      Fourgeron’s
      backing
      vocals.
      Some
      of
     
     
      the
      more
      upbeat
      tracks,
      “Moonshine,”
     
     
      and
      “Battle
      song,”
      for
      example,
      suffer
     
     
      a
      little
      on
      build
      a
      horse,
      losing
      some
      of
     
     
      the
      energy
      and
      enthusiasm
      which
      car-
     
     
      ried
      them
      so
      successfully
      during
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ieee
      ere

      shows.

      will
      be
      a
      surprise
      for
      anyone
     
     
      who
      is
      only
      familiar
      with
      him
      as
      lead
     
     
      singer
      of
      The
      Rude
      Mechanicals.
     
     
      Ellsworth
      pulls
      off
      nearly
      everything
     
     
      he
      tries,
      but
      despite
      his
      fine
      perform-
     
     
      ance,
      it
      is
      unfortunate
      that
      such
      a
      tal-
     
     
      ented
      group
      of
      singers
      (Steve
     
     
      Balderston,
      Dan
      Currie,
      Pat
      Deighan)
     
     
      are
      largely
      confined
      to
      backing
      vocals,
     
     
      particularly
      when
      the
      group
      approach
     
     
      to
      song
      writing
      was
      so
      successful.
      One
     
     
      hopes
      that,
      despite
      the
      departure
      of
     
     
      “band
      leader”
      Dennis
      Ellsworth,
      this
     
     
      will
      not
      be
      the
      last
      that
      is
      heard
      of
