Morgan Cameron Ross

about

Morgan Cameron Ross is an only child so going solo is in his nature. The past six years fronting and leading Toronto’s Birds of Wales hasn’t always been easy or creatively fulfilling because he doesn’t always play well with others. But his brand new self-titled solo debut is everything that he wanted it to be, made on his terms and timeline. On this solo venture, Morgan was able to sing about whatever he wanted and arrange the songs any which way he pleased. There’s the dark acoustic story “My Brother Went To Prison” that would do Johnny Cash proud; the sprightly oh-damn tale “13C” with a kind of straw-in-the-mouth country flavour; the beautiful resign “We’ve All Had Broken Hearts,” co-written with Ron Sexsmith; and the peppy first single, “Let It Go,” one of three pop songs that kick off the album penned with Ian Smith, formerly of the Miniatures. “This album is everything I wanted it to be. For me, it was therapeutic. I just needed to get away from the control of everyone else,” Morgan explains. “I chose all the songs. It was produced the way I wanted it to sound. Birds of Wales had gotten away from me; I was taking too much guidance from management, record labels, producers and the like. I needed a different outlet.” Despite Birds of Wales’ accomplishments — a 2006 single, “My Lady In July,” named “most played song” on XM Radio’s The Verge; 2007’s Europe-only released Fall of the 49 EP ; a video for the song “Cinderella” receiving heavy rotation at Canada’s MuchMore
