After a lengthy hiatus (lets just call it a pandemic),
acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter, Jordie Lane is back with, The Empty House Tapes Vol. 1 & 2, via Blood Thinner Records.
Available for digital download and on Exclusive Grey Tint Cassette Tape with Lyrics and Liner Booklet in clear Norolex Case (Vol. 1 only).
Volume 1 & 2 will be available on CD also, directly from Bandcamp.
The new series of Solo Acoustic offerings will be packaged together as a full length album, JORDIE LANE - The Empty House Tapes Vol. 1 & 2 which will be available as a tour exclusive CD. Volume 1, comprising mostly spontaneous rambling folk style songs written in the moment, with Volume 2, finding itself straddling to more of a raw Outlaw Country sound. All written and recorded in a vacant house in Nashville, Tennessee, engineered, produced and mixed by Lane himself, enlisting John McLaggan to complete the Mastering in Saint John, on Canada’s East Coast. It's an old school, throwback storyteller set, telling tales of wild times on the road,
Nostalgia for home, and observations of the intense past few years, with social, political and civil unrest in America while Jordie was there amongst it.
Lane's own experiences, in last leaving Australia at the height of the 2019-20 bushfires, to then witnessing his Nashville neighbourhood being hit by an EF3 Tornado, then hit with the ongoing Pandemic completely crippling the 'touring life’ for over two years, all led to a serendipitous conversation with a local landlord in Nashville who set Lane up in an old vacant empty house, where he wrote and recorded almost 50 songs over a month long stay.
Written & Recorded by Jordie Lane in an Empty House.
Mixed by Jordie Lane at Lockeland Sound, Nashville, TN, USA
Mastered by John McLaggan at Parachute Mastering, Saint John, NB, Canada
