    His inaugural gathering of bona-fide solo work summons an aura of full-blown tranquility.

    Samson's words are the star of the show, and their ornate depictions of rural Canada, soft romantic devotion and computer programming make Provincial a quietly beautiful experience.

    Samson doesn't break any new ground on Provincial; it's familiar stuff, warm and well-worn. That means it can be alternately immediate or unexciting, sometimes within the same song.
