The Canadian Record Industry Association (CRIA) has anounced its Gold and Platinum records for May 2008. We’re happy to hear that City & Colour’s Bring Me Your Love has gone Gold in Canada. Bring Me Your Love was produced by Dan Achen and recorded and mixed at Catherine North in late 2007. The album was released February 14, 2008 in Canada.
