Before Falconhawk, there was The Love Years, Kara Keith’s debut solo recording. It’s a precursor to FH’s work – you’ll recognize many of the songs from their later Hotmouth versions – but is also unique in its own ways. Released in 2002, The Love Years had instrumental help from Bob Keelaghan, Dan Vacon and Bob Quashnick, and was one again produced by the inimitable Dave Alcock. ChartAttack.com says that the songs on The Love Years prove Kara Keith to be one of Calgary’s “finest songwriters”.
