Description
Following 2017s critically acclaimed Love Versus album, Leeroy Stagger has emerged with Strange Path, his most ambitious and philosophical creation yet.
In making Strange Path, Stagger surrounded himself with some of the best players in the business, including drummer Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Elliot Smith, Los Lobos), longtime collaborator Tyson Maiko, Paul Rigby (Neko Case, Garth Hudson, Jakob Dylan), Ryland Moranz and Michael Ayotte. The album was mixed by five time Grammy winner Ryan Freeland (Ray Lamontagne, Bonnie Raitt, Rodney Crowell) Brad Barr of The Barr Brothers shared producers chair with Leeroy on four of the eleven tracks.
From the appropriately haunted Leonard Cohen is Dead and the cosmic reflections of album-closer The Light to the hard-edged stomp of Jesus and Buddha and glam-rock bliss of Strange Attractor, its an album of sharp hooks and sharper insights, a statement on loss, forgiveness, pain, faith, The Clash, Gord Downie, love, death, fear, letting go, higher powers, Mother Earth, obsession, redemption, and the path we all walk through life.
