about

July 15, 2022 would have been my mother’s 80th birthday. For those of you who don’t know her, Penny was something of a folk music icon in Canada. She started performing when she was ten years old with her Martin 0018 guitar, the very one I played most of the songs on this album with.

When she passed six years back I thought a nice way to pay homage to her legacy would be to record some of my favourite songs she’d written. But life got in the way. I was busy touring, writing, recording and producing a few other artists as well as taking care of my family.

I never got to produce an album for my mother, so I wanted to make a record of her material in a way that I imagined she would have heard it; drawing upon her influences and music I remember her listening to when I was a kid.

I also wanted to make this record old school; no tuning vocals, no quantizing instruments, no back-vocal alignment processing, no sound replacement on drums - what you hear is exactly what I played and sang. I placed the microphones in a way that was pleasing to my ears, hit record, and played ‘till I got what I wanted. Just like the old days.

So if you hear any little mistakes, any tuning issues or tempo fluctuations, it’s because they’re there. I intentionally left it all in.

Each song was recorded and mixed in about two days. I played all the instruments, and they are all real, and mostly beautiful old classics from the 50’s and 60’s.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it. If you do, please come out and see me at a show some time. -JL
