  • Description

    After several years of splitting his time between Canada and Europe, Ontario-born singer/songwriter Shannon Lyon's recent relocation to Berlin has led to a deal with Rounder Records' European division for this latest album.

    Recorded before he left Canada, Lyon's tenth solo album is an intimate acoustic affair, featuring sparse backing from co-producer/keyboardist Chris Giesbrecht and guest vocals from Busted Flat recording artist Sarah Hallman.
    Aside from the Mark Lanegan-penned title track, and Paul Kelly's "Same Old Walk", the remaining nine tracks are a glowing representation of Lyon's trademark honesty, which has drawn comparisons to Neil Young and Townes Van Zandt. As well, songs like "Back In Town", "Get Over You" and "Telephone" are an often-bittersweet reflection of his time spent in other parts of the world, including Australia and Amsterdam, over the last three years.

    Shannon is one of Canada's most respected roots music artists and his move to Rounder Europe is sure to expand his audience all around the world.
