Topic: New Chords Postings
Already well-known as a producer of major music artists such as Peter Gabriel, U2, Robbie Robertson and several other Canadian bands/artists, in 1989 Daniel Lanois launched his own career as a recording artist with his debut album Acadie.
Atmospheric singles "Still Water" and "The Maker" became well-known Lanois classics, as did "Jolie Louise."
The briefest track on the album, "Under A Stormy Sky", recalls a time from Lanois' childhood when his grandfather's farm was sold and Lanois relocated with his mother and siblings from Quebec to Hamilton, Ontario. While he refers to the song as a celebration, it also has a bittersweet tone, reflecting the changes happening in his life, contrasting the happy and the sad, rural and urban, and the French and English languages. Lanois talks about the song in this short video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9_UdYbzLxk
The chord chart includes tablature for the guitar solo and the fills in the second bridge.

In 1980 Vancouver band Doug and The Slugs released their debut album Cognac and Bologna. The album's first single was the Top 20 hit "Too Bad". (The Intro of that song was the Riff-In-A-Jiff entry for May 21, 2012.) The follow-up single was "Chinatown Calculation", the Intro of which is tabbed here.
A Trew Holiday Gift is a four song digital EP that was released in 2011. It was included as a free bonus for anyone buying The Trews' Hope and Ruin album from the band's online store. The EP featured the Christmas song "Coming Home". Lead singer/rhythm guitarist Colin MacDonald spoke about the song in a December 2011 interview with The Casket, a weekly newspaper published in Antigonish, Nova Scotia (The Trews' hometown):
"Peace Of Mind" was the first single drawn from The Grapes Of Wrath's second album, Treehouse (1987). It was also the first single to chart for the Kelowna, BC band, peaking at #56 on the Canadian RPM chart.
