Vagabond by Jeffery Straker
2012 release by Jeffery Michael Straker: Vagabond
The album was produced by noted Canadian multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer Danny Michel. The piano was recorded on Glenn Gould's Steinway grand at CBC Studio 211, Toronto.
The song 'Birchbark Canoe' features Canadian Fred Penner on harmonica.
"Vagabond" takes the listener on a journey of escape and exploration. Sometimes the the travels are in a canoe, and sometimes in an armchair. Sometimes the escape is 'from' oneself and sometimes 'back to' oneself.
Enjoy!
