Niagara Niagara (music from "The Shooting Gallery" motion picture)Includes Something More Besides You, Niagara Theme, and At A Crossroads Over the past several years Mike and Jeff Bird have composed, performed and recorded a handful of film scores. Most of the films that they have worked on have gone the way of most independent films and disappeared into obscurity. The most commercially successful of these films is Niagara, Niagara and it is the only one that had a soundtrack release. The CD includes two of the many music cues written and recorded by Mike and Jeff (including the Niagara, Niagara theme). It is also loaded with some excellent Americana: a couple of the more notable cuts on the CD is a terrific and obscure Lucinda Williams track, Sharp Cutting Wings, and the exquisite Patty Griffin song, You Are Not Alone. |

Mountain Stage Volume 7Includes Pale Sun We have appeared on the Mountain Stage radio program six or seven times over the years. It is one of only a handful of programs left in the ever-shrinking radio universe that is centered around live music. For that reason alone we always make an effort to get to its broadcast home in Charleston, West Virginia, every few years. Another reason is that there is always an artist or two on the bill that we are excited to meet. Over the years we have shared the Mountain stage with Alex Chilton, Pop Staples, Loudon Wainwright III and many more. The night that this performance of Pale Sun was recorded we had the unparalleled pleasure of sharing it with The Band. That night we felt very small indeed. |

MapleMusic OneIncludes Carmelita While we were working on Lay It Down we stumbled upon the inspired music of Fred Eaglesmith. We decided to record a few different covers while we were in the studio and Carmelita was one of them. It is a brilliant song that tells the tale of a couple of farm labourers, set in Southern Ontario's tobacco belt. It is very reminiscent of the best of The Band's writing. We ended up not putting any covers on Lay It Down so this track has sat basically unreleased (it was included as a B side for a radio single) until now. This compilation launches the new MapleMusic Recordings label of which we are very proud and excited to be a part. It will hopefully serve, to many of you, as an introduction to a lot of great artists whose music can be found at maplemusic.com. |

Return Of The Grievous Angel: A Tribute to Gram ParsonsIncludes Ooh Las Vegas We were honoured to get asked to contribute a song to this tribute album. The music of Gram Parsons has always been very important to us and Emmylou Harris, who put the album together, is one of our heroes. We were also honoured to be included among the stellar line-up that contributed songs to this album. Originally we considered doing one of Gram's ballads, but we felt that it would have been too easy and we wanted to challenge ourselves. So we looked for a song that had a simple structure and one that we could turn inside out; Ooh Las Vegas fit the bill. We had just completed recording Miles From Our Home and had learnt a lot about production from producer John Leckie, so we decided to put our lessons to the test. Mike recorded the basic tracks by himself in the basement of Big White using an 8-track recorder. We then went to Chemical Sound with those tapes where Pete and Al laid down their tracks, Mike put on a few more layers of guitar and then Margo layered four separate vocal tracks. The tapes were then sent to Chris Lord-Alge (who mixed Miles From Our Home) in LA. Chris did an outstanding job putting it all together and ensuring that the song rocked. We love the way that this song came out and so did the record company. They decided to use it as the lead single. |
