There are two good love songs (Your Healing Grace, The Sweetness of This) a song about a Salvadoran refugee (Caravan), a #MeToo song (Carrieanne), a take-a-stand song inspired by Howard Tate (It Is My Business) a spoken word song about the end of time (Slippin’), a song about Vietnam (A Heart In Razor Wire), an open-tuned-guitar-and-strings song about the people I’m not (If I Were A Miner), and a long stream-of-consciousness jam tune (My Life), to mention a few.

Montréal encore

Christopher Mark Jones and Bernard Pozier

Christopher and Bernard met during the Quebec Festival in Pittsburgh in 2007, when three Quebec poets came to the city for several days and Christopher did the hosting. When it turned out that Christopher’s customary summer rental in Montreal was around the corner from Bernard’s place, the two made a tradition of meeting for a meal, exchanging
Christopher and Bernard met during the Quebec Festival in Pittsburgh in 2007, when three Quebec poets came to the city for several days and Christopher did the hosting. When it turned out that Christopher’s customary summer rental in Montreal was around the corner from Bernard’s place, the two made a tradition of meeting for a meal, exchanging their latest creative productions (books of poetry and albums) and catching up. Along the way they collaborated on one song (Hockey éternité) and in 2019 determined that a full-length recording project was a possibility. The resulting album, Montréal encore, includes six songs with Bernard’s lyrics put to music by Christopher, two lyric co-writes, three French songs previously written by Christopher , and a poem recorded by Bernard. (See credits below for details.) The title itself echoes both Christopher’s song Montreal Again and Bernard’s poem Montréal encore, and evokes a city that seems to be in constant renaissance for them both.
