    SOLITUDES continues to be a favourite among fans of Canadian West Coast acoustic music. Because of growing demand, all tracks on the album were digitally remastered at Record Time Productions in St. John's, Newfoundland and released as a CD in 2009. This recording remains a classic, linked to the spirit of the wild wet west coast of Canada. The songs explore the theme of being alone and range from quiet folk ballads to blues to real rockers. Written at a time when the composer made his home in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, this is very much "island music," dreamy, compelling and melodic.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    SOLITUDES was recorded in the Golden Age studios in 1979-80 by Simon Garber, a Vancouver producer of great renown. Even though it is a solo album, a long list of some of the West Coast's finest musicians contributed to this gorgeous collection of original songs and instrumentals performed on a wide range of instruments, with vocals accompanied by guitar, violin, viola, bass, clarinet, saxophone, french horn, flute, alto flute, recorder, xylophone and percussion. Vintage copies of this recording are currently selling online for $35 and more. We still have some in stock and are happy to offer them at a reduced price.

about

It's that perfect day when you get up, knowing you don't have to be anywhere or do anything, and you pad to the refrigerator and open the door to find a perfect half cantaloupe waiting for you, enshrined in a palace of lettuce and you scoop out the seeds and without waiting or using a spoon you lift the glowing golden flesh to your face and bury your face in its rich juice.
