Amid raves from NPR, NY Times, UNCUT and others, Corb Lund
scored a personal best with a #13 debut on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and
a #60 debut on the Billboard Indie Chart for his "breakthrough"
(Washington Post) album 'Cabin Fever' (New West Records). The album also
debuted at #1 on Billboard's Canadian Top 200 albums chart. In the Nashville
Scene's 13th Annual Country Music Critics' Poll, Corb Lund is the #10 male
vocalist and 'Cabin Fever' is the #20 best album of 2012. He will open a show
in April for country royalty Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley. Here's what
the press have said:
"Impressive… great songs… Lund finds glory in tough
work, spotting characters most people would overlook, and celebrating them with
colorful sketches… Corb Lund's ironic humor and keen sense of American culture
is similar to Hayes Carll." – NPR
"An album of pithy mischief and roguish charm." –
NY Times
"This is another terrific chapter in what's become a
rich catalouge of orthodox country" - Uncut 9/10
"A breakthrough [and] a doozy… Lund is a revelation,
laconic and scary smart, with a devil’s eye for details." – Washington
Post
"As if strolling out of the American West itself, caked
with layers dusty guitar riffs and rugged vocals, comes Corb Lund’s latest
work… The album’s 12 tracks drip with cowboy speak." – Paste Magazine
"Corb Lund has one up on the alt-country competition in
that he’s been an actual cowboy, and his songs sometimes seem like the
soundtrack to a Western directed by Quentin Tarantino." – MTV Hive
"Corb Lund's 'Cabin Fever' is the best country record
this year." – The Oregonian
