2013 | Country Album of the Year | Emerson Drive | | The JUNO Awards

Marking the band’s fifth studio effort, Roll (October 30) is a collection of 11 brand new songs, including the lead single “She’s My Kind Of Crazy.” The song is currently a Top 10 hit at radio and CMT, and is nearly gold on iTunes. Ten of the 11 songs were co-written by band members, including “She’s My Kind of Crazy,” (Brad Mates/Danick Dupelle with Bobby Pinson), and “Let It Roll,” which teamed up Emerson Drive with label-mates Doc Walker. “Let It Roll” was debuted on the 2012 CCMA Awards, live in September. It’s been over 10 years since Emerson Drive brought their first album into stores in May of 2002. That self-titled collection introduced the band with the debut hit single, “I Should Be Sleeping.” They’ve garnered dozens of nominations and awards since, including ACM, CMA, Grammy and CCMA nods, and receiving their first number one U.S. hit with the single “Moments.” They embarked on a full-scale Canadian tour in 2011 to support the release of Decade Of Drive, a hits collection that included the new singles “Let Your Love Speak” and “When I See You Again.” Emerson Drive plans to ‘Roll’ out a 2013 national tour.
