ABOUT THE ALBUM
English–born Canadian singer and guitarist David Wiffen is a widely acclaimed songwriter whose songs have been covered by many artists, including Eric Andersen, Tom Rush, The Cowboy Junkies, Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes, Anne Murray ,The Jayhawks, Harry Belafonte, The Byrds, Ian & Sylvia, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Jerry Jeff Walker and many others.
Born March 11, 1942, Wiffen moved to Canada with his family at the age of 16. His first solo album David Wiffen at the Bunkhouse Coffeehouse was released in 1965. He subsequently signed to Fantasy Records and in 1971 released David Wiffen and had hit singles with "One Step" and "More Often Than Not." The album also contained his most widely covered song, "Driving Wheel."
His second solo studio album Coast to Coast Fever (United Artists, 1973) was produced by Bruce Cockburn. Wiffen's third album South of Somewhere was released in 1999; the album contained a mix of reworkings of some of his older material such as "Driving Wheel" plus some new songs. During this period he returned briefly to performing, but has not performed publicly since early 2000.
Songs From The Lost & Found consists of 12 previously unreleased songs dating from the mid–seventies to the early eighties along with 5 alternative versions of songs previously released on South of Somewhere. Whether recorded solo, in small combos or with a full band, they are some of the finest material Wiffen has written.
These are songs of longing, of experience, of travel, of reflection, of love lost and love won all sung with his incredible baritone voice.
