Country Music

2017 from the Canadian singer/songwriter. Country, Music is a musical meeting of the minds of some of folk and pop's most respected musicians. In the fall of 2016, Joey was invited by his country neighbor and friend, Jonas Bonetta (Evening Hymns) to come to his studio Port William Sound in Mountain Grove, Ontario, to start recording some of Joey's new music and songs in progress. These early sessions ended up becoming the bedrock of what is now the compelling and sonically rich album, Country, Music. Along with the recording prowess and musical contribution of Jonas, Joey also reached out to many of his musical contemporaries and friends to add to the magic that is this collection of songs: Amy Millan and Jenny Whiteley both sing on the record, Evan Cranley and Pat McGee of the band Stars are the central rhythm section, joined on several tracks by the horn section from "the Montreal sessions": Evan Cranley, Chris Seligman and R.J. Frizzell. Bringing yet more beauty and inspiration to the album, Joey is joined by steel guitar bosses Christine Bougie and Burke Carroll. Rounding out the impressive cast of characters are Julien Brown (bass), Mike Brushey (drums) and Aaron Comeau (piano, organ, bass). To tie the entire gleaming package with a bow, Joey enlisted Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Justin Rutledge) to mix Country, Music at his Echo Lake studio.
