In 2008 The Rural Alberta Advantage came out of nowhere to deliver us an album that was loaded with spark and wit and fury. "Hometowns" was self released and through word of mouth gained a devoted following. They soon signed to Saddle Creek Records and the album was released on that label in 2009. Fast forward to 2011 (March 1 to be precise) and we will see their second album released. "Departing" is the name of the album and it is one album that I am definitely looking forward to in 2011.
