d9 Presents SOCAN National Achievement Award
On November 23rd, d9 presented the SOCAN National Achievement Award to recording artist Rita MacNeil. The awards ceremony was held at Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto, Canada. For those who have heard 'Sunday in Savannah' off of d9's latest release - or for those who haven't - it is Rita's beautiful voice that is featured in this song. (Pictures to follow...)
"...I cannot say enough to describe the impact that Rita’s words, voice and humility has had on my life, as an artist and as a human being.... Her songs are created from the fibers and realities that connect us and have become anthems to the weak, the loved, the unloved and the invisible..." - excerpt from d9's presentation speech
Fields of Gold (Sting)
i have posted a version of the song 'Fields of Gold' (written by Sting) that was recorded for 'Ten Bulls' in 1998, but never made it to the final sequencing.
if my memory serves me correct - i was tha most hesitant about releasing this track as part of the final sequence and i may have had my reasons, but now listening back i can't remember what they were.
this still doesn't change the fact that i think it is a beautiful version of tha song...
playing on this version of 'Fields of Gold' is Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, Michael Rhodes, Michael Shrieve and me (d9).
the track was produced by Michael Shrieve.
the track was recorded by Bob Stark.
*you can hear it at TAKE IT!, but this FREE download is only available to those who are subscribed to the mailing list. sign up and download it now for yor next walk to the edge.
