Released in 2008, Speak Your Mind is the sophomore album from Montreal guitarist and singer/songwriter Ian Kelly. While his first release, Insecurity, was entirely self-penned and self-produced, the second time around, the Canadian enlisted the help of indie producer Guillaume Chartrain to work on the LP's 12 acoustic folk-pop tracks, including the singles "Wiser Man" and "Take Me Home." ~ Jon O'Brien
