Folkyo is the third studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Dayna Manning, released on her own LeParc Records on December 19, 2006.[1] Folkyo received positive reviews, praising the album's musical intricacy and Manning's voice and writing,[2] as well as its complex tones and clever lyrics.[3]

Overview

Production

After eight years Manning parted ways with EMI. Her third album, Folkyo, was released on December 19, 2006, and saw Manning write, co-produce, engineer and perform. She released the album on her own label, LeParc Records,[1] and even raised funds to finish production by working at a construction camp in Northern British Columbia for the Winter of 2006. Collaborators included Ian Brown from Matthew Good Band and Christian Thor-Valdson from Copyright.

Reception

Folkyo received positive reviews, praising the album's musical intricacy and Manning's voice and writing,[2] as well as its complex tones and clever lyrics.[3]

According to a Toronto Quarterly article in 2012, "[Manning's] songwriting is sincere and superbly crafted, her finger-picking skills are unmatched and her voice is truly unmistakable with a timbre that reminds one of Roy Forbes, Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton all at once."[4]
