Sara May, the lead singer and songwriter of Canadian band Falcon Jane, has officially donned her cowboy hat. Living in rural Ontario, Sara and her partner Andrew have channeled their deep love of traditional country and western music and their affection for their small town home into a beautiful evolution of the Falcon Jane sound. They've retained their sunny temperament and Sara's lyrical depth while refining their production and songwriting—the result is a song like “I Own the Road", a resolute and brokenhearted tune with a timeless country sound.
With a deft lyrical touch, Sara embodies a classic archetype: the long-haul trucker, heartbroken, carrying a “heavy heart, a heavy load.” She captures the isolation, the longing, and the pride, and drives the song to its anthemic chorus. You can almost feel the frost on the windshield.
