Various - Alberta Wild Roses Northern Lights
Review by Jesse Doerffel
The album Alberta Wild Roses Northern Lights by Various is a beautiful collection of songs that perfectly encapsulate the spirit of Alberta, Canada. The album features a variety of artists and genres, but they all share a common thread of celebrating the natural beauty and culture of the region.
The opening track, "Wild Rose Country" by Ian Tyson, sets the tone for the album with its haunting melody and lyrics that speak to the rugged, independent spirit of the Alberta people. Other standout tracks include "Northern Lights" by Corb Lund, which captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the aurora borealis, and "The Old Cowboy's Lament" by Tom Wilson, a poignant tribute to the hard-working ranchers and cowboys of the region.
Throughout the album, the musicians showcase their impressive talent and versatility, seamlessly blending traditional folk and country sounds with more contemporary styles. The result is a cohesive, emotionally resonant collection that will appeal to fans of all ages and musical tastes.

However, I'm not sure that one of the lines in your lyrics is correct. You have transcribed that line as:
"Some say you don't look Indian / But I do in here."
When I listen to the song, I hear the following:
"Some say you don't look Indian / What are you doing here?"
That goes better with the next line:
"Prejudice works both ways I fear."
All the best.
