A mediocre effort from one of Canada’s most gifted songwriters. Watershed feels like a contractual obligation album featuring an uninspired Curran simply going through the motions. Never has Six Shooter Record’s mission statement “Life is too short to listen to shitty music” sounded more ironic. Particularly disappointing in light of the fact that Curran’s previous albums Lullabies For Barflies (2002) and War Brides (2006) are two of the finest Canadian albums of the century.
Rating 5/10
