What they're saying about Cam Penner's latest album

Trouble&Mercy

MOJO Magazine - Four Stars
Rock n Reel (R2) - Four Stars

"Cam's new record, Trouble & Mercy is devastating...The type of songs when emotions and thoughts float to the surface and surge through your body uncontrollably."
Hero Hill

"If music had a quota system, then the category of singer- songwriter would be closed due to overcrowding. Thankfully there isn't, because Cam Penner and his emotional songs of lives lived and experiences endured and enjoyed deserve to be heard in all their stoical splendour."
Irish Times

"Further proof that the best Americana comes from Canada."
Americana UK

"Always a songwriter who strives for depth, Cam Penner makes some of the deepest cuts of his career on Trouble & Mercy."
Calgary Sun

"....I can't recommend this man enough, if you get a chance, go and see him and get Trouble and Mercy."
Folk Radio UK

"This record has caught me completely by surprise and has touched me in ways that music rarely does. This is 46 minutes of honesty and beauty that is quite simply wonderful."
The Music Critic UK

In a complicated world, Cam Penner finds beauty in simplicity, with an honest, spare approach to folk music that is refreshing in an age filled with so much insincerity and irony. Singing uncompromising songs about redemption and truth, Penner is a voice for the disenfranchised, a storyteller for those who never reach their destination. Penner's fiercely personal lyrics are complemented by a gentle acoustic guitar style, and the defiant heroes of his songs are weary, but they are never defeated.
