Mocking Bird, The
No Good Dees Goes Unpunished
The Mocking Bird is the new project from acclaimed singer songwriter Bob Kemmis. The new moniker isn't the only change for the Vancouver-based musician: the thirteen new songs on No Good Deed Goes Unpunished exhibit a new, rockier urgency in stark contrast to the low-key studio albums Kemmis has previously released under his own name. According to Kemmis, this has as much to do with his own life experience as it does the players who bring his songs to crackling life. These include old friends Doug Elliott, Pat Steward and Craig Northey from Odds, keyboard ace Simon Kendall, roots guitar wizard Steve Dawson, Spirit of the West's Geoff Kelly along with stadium rock greats Mickey Curry and Keith Scott.
