Release Notes:
On easinÆ back to tennessee, Linden captures the
spirit of his early blues heroes, but his approach
transcends mimicry. After a while, the tradition
becomes part of who you are, especially when you
utilize what you do in different capacities. If I
play Son House style guitar on some country record,
you begin to feel like you are an emissary of this
style that you walk around with. That frees you
from feeling like youÆre an imitator. When the
dance floor is full, you have to get them going
some way or another, so you pull out what you have
in your back pocket. In my case, that is usually
Robert Johnson or Son House, the country blues.
The combination of his deep passion, encyclopedic
musical knowledge, and a well-trained empathetic
ear has also made Colin Linden one of the most
sought after roots music producers in North
America. In 2005 alone, he produced eight albums,
some surely destined to bring more awards into his
crammed trophy case. That list includes the Bruce
Cockburn instrumental album, Speechless, the! new
solo album from his Blackie comrade, Tom Wilson,
(Dog Years), the strongstrong-selling Limelight
from Colin James, plus upcoming records from
fast-rising blues songstresses Janiva Magness and
Roxanne Potvin, whose disc will feature guest
appearances from the likes of Daniel Lanois,
Cockburn, John Hiatt and The Fairfield Four.
