Sometimes is the debut solo album by City and Colour, a side project of Dallas Green, the second guitarist and one of the vocalists of the band Alexisonfire. His solo material is of the acoustic variety. At first, the majority of these songs were only available at live shows or over the Internet through Peer-to-peer services. However, due to high demand, the songs were compiled onto a studio album, and released through Dine Alone Records. Comin' Home was the only song on the album to not have been previously available. Sometimes is certified Platinum in Canada[1] and won the Juno Award for Alternative Album Of The Year (2007).
