Ten albums in, Juno Award-winning artist Justin Rutledge could easily rest on his reputation in perpetuity because he’s accumulated the sort of daunting body of work upon which one could easily coast. Instead, on his new album “Something Easy”, Justin Rutledge did the opposite. He made things exceedingly difficult for himself and decided to write, record, and produce the poised, subtly powerful set of songs by himself at home. With one, then later two, bouncing baby boys underfoot. Rutledge is also the recipient of a Canadian Folk Music Award and a Montreal English Theatre Award.
