The year is 2016 and with that comes an understanding. That humans, plants, animals, lakes, rivers, streams, oceans, trees, forests, and the land itself have been making music for a very long time. Yes, even before the 20th Century! Some do it naturally, others with much dedication and practice. They either get there or they don’t, and there’s definitely no shame in trying, but certain entities just have that gift. From his Island home to the mainland, Victoria to Vancouver transplant Iceberg Ferg is a rare breed. He certainly didn’t invent the wheel, but has crafted his own with precision, passion, and a special grace. He has soul. He has taste. These are things, like Mother Nature, that can’t be faked. 
Did you peep the young man opening for Idaho’s Built To Spill recently? Ferg has that exceptional ability to silence - and I mean as quiet as to hear a pin drop silence - an obsessive and dedicated indie rock mob. Lazy journalists may throw out the names of once ignored and now revered 1960’s folk greats in comparison, but brothers and sisters, for this old beat’s sake, just listen to Ferg’s voice. Listen to his guitar. All else becomes irrelevant. You have taken your first steps In The Valley Of The Purple Prince, Iceberg Ferg’s transcendent debut LP album on Triple Crown Audio Recordings of Canada (recorded at The Dispensary studio on Salt Spring Island by his brother Duncan from the band Slam Dunk). Just do yourself a favour and make enough time to go get lost in the grooves for a while after powering up your trusty turntable, but don’t forget to gently put the needle back to the beginning once it’s done, eh? Yer gonna need a rewind on this one, and another, and another... 
PEACE,
