Keri and Devin Latimer, the husband and wife duo that refer to themselves by the nom de plume Leaf Rapids, have created a most affecting debut album in Lucky Stars, a set of songs that reflects what one can only imagine must be the carefree feeling inspired by life in the vast expanse of Canada’s western provinces. It is indeed a long way from Manitoba to Memphis, but in truth, those windy prairies aren’t all that different from the fields and grasslands that stretch to the foothills of the American Rockies. As a result, there’s the possibility of finding similar inspiration in gazing up at star-crossed skies where dreams take flight and soar towards the vast expanse that cradles endless possibilities.
