Description

CD reissue of this album from the Candian folk rock band. Save This House is a 1990 album by Spirit of the West. It was the band's first album for Warner Music Canada, and their first with Linda McRae. Although still a relatively traditional folk album, it's release on a major label meant that it was the band's first album to expand their fan base significantly beyond the folk music scene. The title track, an energetically percussive environmental anthem, was a notable hit for the band on campus radio. The album's best-known song is "Home for a Rest". While never a mainstream chart hit for the band, it has become by far their most famous song. It's joyous Pogues-like rhythm and lyrics about a drinking spree have made it an enduring frosh week anthem at Canadian colleges and universities. In 2005, "Home for a Rest" was also named the 22nd greatest Canadian song of all time on CBC Radio One's 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version.
