Review: 

The third full-length album from Old Man Luedecke. It is particularly interesting that this album was recorded live in the Factory Studio in Vancouver. As such, this album captures the true spirit of Luedecke and his band playing without lots of unnecessary studio tweaking and overdubs. Chris plays banjo on most of these tracks which adds threads of bluegrass into the music. There were lots of players involved here...more than a dozen friends and associates played on the album including producer/guitarist/songwriter extraordinaire Steve Dawson. In a world full of processed generic artists whose lack of talent is hidden by the use of too much technology...a genuine, true, credible artist like Chris Luedecke easily stands out from the crowd. Thirteen warm classy tracks here including "Proof of Love," "The Drawing Near" (a particularly appealing track), "In the Beginning," and "Thrown by the Bull."
