Information AboutLabour Day (album) |
''Labour Day'' is a 1988 album by Spirit Of The West . The album's best-known song is " Political ", which was the first song to gain widespread airplay for the band on Campus Radio and CBC Radio One . When the band evolved into an Alternative Rock group in the 1990s , their 1991 album '' Go Figure '' included a controversial revamp of that song. It was the band's first album with Hugh MacMillan . MacMillan found the tour to support the album draining, and took a temporary hiatus from the band; he was replaced by Daniel Lapp and Linda McRae . However, MacMillan returned before the band's next album. Lapp left on MacMillan's return, but McRae stayed with the band until 1996 . TRACK LISTING Lyrics and music are credited to various combinations of the band members: John Mann , Geoffrey Kelly and Hugh MacMillan. Arrangements are credited to the band. Former band member J. Knutson also receives an arranging credit on "Drinking Man".
