Six in 6/8 - “Let it go”
There’s something timely and emotional about the six tunes on this record that flow from Celtic, country, folk, rock and soul, all wrapped up in my favourite time signature - 6/8. 6/8 feels like a musical home to me, a signature of time, a sense of place. I think songs, if they are written from a true place, are like living stories and as such, I try to follow where they lead. When I look at this album and what came together - in terms of writing the songs, the production and even the cover art - I see a work of a particular time. I was lead to grapple with emotional and social problems in our world, without looking away, and that process changed me. "Six in 6/8" was co-produced with the wonderfully talented Justin Abedin and involved a cast of 19 incredible musicians, recorded by ten different engineers in 11 different studios from Toronto to Montreal and Nashville to Alabama. Chad Carlson, the Grammy award-winning engineer who mixed the re, had this to say, “Man your songs are poetry! So damn good! Love them all.” Check out the tracks yourself and watch some extra video content here.
