Born in the North Song List
1. Born in the North (3:05) - Jess Lee
Basically this song is just about having pride in living in the North. I love hunting and fishing and living in the bush. It''s just a big part of my life. I love visiting my friends and having bannock and moose meat.

2. Fly Sparrow Fly (3:18) - Jess Lee
We''re basically all as vulnerable as sparrows, and we''re all in this life together. It''s funny how this song hits everyone. It''s really popular in the bars and honky-tonks. I guess it''s inspirational and spiritual.

4. Shood da Doo (2:49) - Jess Lee
I was working on songs one morning, after being up all night drinking beer. My girl told be I should go to bed. So I started singing "What should I do" as a smart-ass comeback, and before 24 hours had passed I had this song.

5. She Ain''t Gonna Rock (2:42) - Jess Lee, B. James, Ed Molyski
I started writing this song with Ed Molyski and Bonny James back in 1989, during a gig in Port Hardy, B.C. Playing in bars for so many years one observes certain trends, like the many times you see drunken, horny men try to put the moves on women when all the women want to do is dance.

8. Lake Wabamun (2:52) - Jess Lee
I lived out in Lake Wabamun for two years. I was talking to some old people in their 80s, and their eyes lit up when talking about the old days at the lake. That was the inspiration for the song. We all have our "good old days."

10. Let Love Fly (2:47) - Jess Lee

I have had this song for a while. I started it out back in 1988 at the Barnet Hotel in Port Moody. In 1991 Ralph Murphy hooked me up with Debbie Cochran in Nashville and we finished the song together. It''s for all those living in self-imposed exile from their family at Christmas.

Jess Lee is a truly natural performer who was born to sing. Since the age of 14, Jess Lee has been a professional musician, singer, entertainer, and songwriter. Playing the drums and bass in country bands, it was evident that his pure country voice stood out in any crowd. RCA liked his voice too, and the rest of the country soon found out when the Midnite Rodeo Band was signed with Jess Lee’s voice at the front.
Jess wrote and sang three hit albums for them and his voice was enjoyed by millions.
His work with Rocky Swanson and the great musicians on the west coast scene earned him several awards including BCCMA Male Vocalist and Album Of The Year honours.
Following these huge successes, he recorded his first solo album “Honky Tonk Love Affair” in 1990. This album included 5 charted hits, including the #1 hit “Crowhill Road”. The title track was featured in the movie “Harmony Cats” starring Lisa Brokop, was voted song of the year by the BCCMA, and garnered Jess Lee the Country Male Vocalist Of The Year Award. He spent several years in Nashville and co-wrote songs with many famous songwriters.
In the mid -90’s Jess Lee returned to his aboriginal musical roots, and together with songwriter Bonnie James wrote the landmark album “Sacred Ground”. This incredible recording reflects true experiences of the aboriginal and metis peoples of North America and was subsequently nominated for the JUNO awards.
In 2004, Jess Lee and Mighty Peace Records released a cd of new original roots music “Born In The North”, and has been credited by Larry Delaney and Country Music News as one of his top ten album picks for 2004.
Jess Lee is currently writing and producing several new projects and is touring in 2006/07. He is a fan’s favourite wherever he performs.
