Nick records with Old Man Luedecke and Tim O’Brien, new CD to be released in June

Posted

From Old Man Luedecke, on his new recordingLuedeckeSession2015:

“Very exciting news round here is a new album in the works. We’ll get it out by June in time for the festivals this summer. 2 weeks ago tonight I picked up Tim O’Brien and his lovely gal Jan at the airport in Halifax quite late for an inspired week of music making in a beautiful cabin I built by hand on my land. Can’t wait to share the results. My first recording project I’ve done at home and the first that required a backhoe to clear a road through the snow to get the studio gear in. Exciting. Look for it on True North records sometime in June or July, inshalla.”

CR-CD_Cover-V03The debút CD featuring Nick’s men and boys choir (5 years old this season) is coming out this fall.

“My Eyes for Beauty Pine” (the title taken from the first track – Herbert Howells’s stunning setting of that text) is a recording in the old-school vein: about 25 minutes in length; 6 tracks in total.

If, like Nick,  you’re a sucker for things like liner notes and beautiful packaging, the physical thing will be available for purchase for $10 at www.capellaregalis.com

It will also be online at the various standard spots.

It is quite beautiful.
