Jon Brooks
"Brooks' new album, Delicate Cages, is unabashed folk, with each song on the 11-track disc offering social commentary about issues that catch the artist's attention and, in many cases, scorn. The album is a rumination on what Brooks says are his three favourite topics: hope, love and death."
"Unlike most contemporary acoustic artists, Jon Brooks doesn't mind being referred to as a folksinger. In fact, he embraces the label. . . "I do feel very much a part of the (folk) tradition, which is inherently subversive...I want people to understand that they've been lied to about what it means to be hopeful that it's not some easy, cheesy, self-help feel-good message," explains Brooks, 43. "It's in fact brutal. It's a bloody affair to be hopeful. It's an action word."
from "Jon Brooks is the fighting sort of folk." Kenyon Wallace, Toronto Star, Apr 27, 2012
