ABOUT THE ALBUM:
The album was recorded here in Winnipeg at Private Ear Studios with the great Grant Siemens in the production chair. Grant is known well for his
12 years of playing guitar with Corb Lund, but we at home know him as one of the most talented and coolest guys in the universe. The ever chilled and skilled Scott Franchuk from Riverdale Recorders in Edmonton was flown in to engineer and mix the album. Scott Pinder from Polyphonics Lab mastered the album.
Something from the press release:
"Together with producer Grant Siemens, Mayes approached the album from a very raw and real perspective. 'His impeccable sentimentalities really brought the groove and the flow to the album,' says Mayes. 'There was so much respect, trust, and commitment to the end result that we worked together flawlessly. His confidence in me as a songwriter and a singer brought out my best, and pushed me to a higher level of writing and performance.' Joined in the studio by Damon Mitchell (The New Meanies, Nathan), Alexa Dirks (Chic Gamine), Bernie Thiessen (Big Dave McLean, Righteous Ike), Marc Arnould and Joanne Rodriguez, the result brings a new jolt to Mayes' already powerful sound."
