''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, its 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. However, the album was not a mainstream commercial breakthrough; the band would achieve that with its next album, 1991's ''Go Figure''. The album's best-known song, however, is "Home for a Rest". While never a mainstream chart hit for the band, it has become by far their most famous song. Its 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''. The band toured Canada and Great Britain in support of this album. Their British tour was as a supporting act for The Wonder Stuff. Members of Spirit of the West appeared on that band's 1991 album ''Never Loved Elvis'' and on the ''Welcome to the Cheap Seats'' EP. ==CD track listing== #"Save This House" – 2:53 #"Home for a Rest" – 4:33 #"Last to Know" – 6:24 #"Roadside Attraction" – 3:03 #"Dirty Pool" – 3:30 #"Not Just a Train" – 4:18 #"(Putting Up With) The Joneses" – 4:25 #"Turned Out Lies" – 3:43 #"Sentimental Side" – 4:06 #"Water in the Well" – 4:03 #"Wrecking Ball" – 3:39 #"Loaded Minds" – 4:51 #"Swingin' Single" – 4:55 #"The Old Sod" – 3:19 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Save This House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
