Newfoundland singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and
producer Jim Fidler is set to release his new rock concept
album on December 8. I will post a review of the album
and details on the virtual launch a little closer to the date.
But for now, the first single off the album, Peace of Mind,
has just been released. It is a tapestry of sound, including
some stellar sax work from guest Rory Hoffman, and
with thought-provoking lyrics. It can be streamed for
free at https://jimfidler.com/new-single/ but if you like
it I recommend you buy it directly from the bottom of
that website for CAN$0.99 (US$0.72, 0.67 Euro, 0.58 pound)
to support the artist.
Since it is a rock concept album, it is a departure from
his earlier reggae, celtic folk, and world music
repertoire. Much of that early material is also available at
https://www.jimfidler.com/ .
I’m not sure if he recorded the lyrics in a stream of
consciousness live or not, but I think he did. (I’ll
check with him on the weekend and follow up
with the details.)
