Canyon is a songwriting collaboration between Gubb Cooper, of Raw Deal (Buffalo, New York), and poet Carolyn Finlay (Cheltenham, U.K.).
The songs on this site will be a selection from Carolyn's new cycle of poems and lyrics, The Alienation Fairgrounds. All Gone Fishing is the first. Shiny Tigers is a rough demo. Two more songs from the sequence have been added recently - Motel Life, and Cherries. More to come .....
Poems from Carolyn's two books, Giveaway (Stride, 1997) and Foreigner (Waterdog, 2001), can be found on her MySpace site, 'shinytigers' (link below).
A selection of Raw Deal's songs can be heard on the Raw Deal MySpace site.
