Yes, it's finished!!! Recorded at The Rogue Music Lab in Toronto, to 24-track 2" tape and mixed and mastered in digital. The album was produced by me (Doug Feaver) and is definitely a departure from our first one. There are 13 tracks on the CD, one of which is an 8 minute medley. Lots of songs and tunes that we wrote, and I think a very original overall sound. Ruth's son Dan Krawchuk took the photos for the album, and I did the layout and design for the packaging. I spent literally hundreds of hours in the studio, so believe me, I'm REALLY glad it's finally done! We hope you like it!
