Kris Drever’s “Doing This For Love” is an artfully crafted meditation on the unglamorous reality of 4am alarm clocks and quiet sacrifices. Infused with northern grit, it stands as a powerful tribute to the working lives it depicts. These songs are born of struggle but elevated by love, each with the potential to secure a lasting place in the folk canon.
