Country and bluegrass act Foxglove (not to be confused with other bands of the same name) featured core members Joe Burkholder (banjo, guitar, electric bass, vocals), George Larsson (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Tony Michael (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), and George Wilson (acoustic bass, dobro, vocals). Their independently produced LP For Your Love was recorded at Century 21 Studios in Winnipeg between January 15 and May 15, 1980, with engineering by Harold Taylor and production by George Larsson and Duck Donald.
Joining the group on the album were a number of local guests: Ron Halldorson (pedal steel), Dave Cramer (harmonica), Duck Donald (mandolin), percussionists Gordon Osland (of Mood Jga Jga, Les Q, Crowcuss, Graham Shaw) and Ian Haslen, and backing vocalists Ilena Greenberg and Tusia Kozub.
Among the album’s standout moments are the jaunty “Carolina In The Pines,” a cover of Michael Martin Murphey’s best-known composition; the traditional number “Roll On Muddy River”; and the heartfelt “Sweet Little Sister,” written by Canadian singer-songwriter John Lyle.

Thanks to our families and friends who encouraged us to put our music on record. Special thanks to Mr. Michael for keeping our music mobile — Foxglove.
Thanks also to Ron Baumber and Dana Boone for their knowledge, time, and efforts that made this possible.
When our little sister got married we sang sweet Little Sister Song at their wedding. Now it is the 40th anniversary. It would be great to play it. Also she married a banjo player and we all used to enjoy this record. It's amazing how music can hold such meaning for so many of us. Hard to believe 40 years ago feels like just yesterday. I actually found the songwriter John Lyle on Bandcamp—Sweet Little Sister is such a beautiful song. Thank you. Cynthia Horton
