Neil MacGonigill is adamant that the latest release from his homegrown record label, Indelible Music, is not about him.

No, Beautiful Dreamers Vol. 1: Alberta Sessions is a retrospective, MacGonigill says, chronicling 30 years of roots music in Alberta, and with artists as important to the genre as Ian Tyson, k.d. lang and Billy Cowsill on the track list, thre’s no question this is a rich part of our province’s culture.

. . .

MacGonigill went on to guide the careers of every artist on the Beautiful Dreamers album, from accomplished guitarist Gaye Delorme to singer songwriter Karla Anderson. He’s credited with being the man who saved veteran rock ‘n’ roller Billy Cowsill, who had literally descended from global pop star fame in the ‘60s to lying drunk in a Northwest Territories ditch, where MacGonigill’s help, the late Cowsill went on to further his musical pedigree for decaded to come.
