The Weather Station is the musical endeavor of Toronto based singer/songwriter Tamara Lindeman and “Way It Is, Way It Could Be” is the opening track from her forthcoming third album, Loyalty. The song evokes the most hushed work of fellow folkie and countrywoman Joni Mitchell as Lindeman’s voice floats over ebbs and flows of instrumentation. The warmth of her vocals allows for her abilities as a storyteller to shine, and her description of a road trip through Quebec is so vivid it almost feels like you’re along for the ride.
The Weather Station’s Loyalty is out May 12 on Paradise Of Bachelors.
