True, the Canadian rock icon has never stopped creating or performing, but Take It Home is his first album of new material since 2006's No Stranger. The album is set for release on February 10, 2015 (via Universal Music Canada) and features the new single, Diamonds, and the summer jam, Sunday Afternoon Hang. Following the release, Tom will embark on a 14-day tour across Canada with stops in Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto. Further info can be found at www.tomcochrane.com. Take It Home (co-produced w/ longtime creative collaborator Bill Bell) reveals an artist still at the top of his game, exploring new lyrical and sonic terrain while remaining grounded in the values that have made him one of Canada's most beloved rock 'n rollers ever. With a 12-song collection guaranteed to please loyal TC fans, while potentially attracting many new ones to the fold, sonically and lyrically, this new album manages to be both timeless and timely. Stylistically, Take It Home draws deeply from American roots music. "When I played these songs for Big Ben Richardson, a friend who lives in Austin and plays in Grady, he said 'they're all over the place, but there's a real Southern feel tying them all together.'” Tom continues: “I agree. I've spent a lot of time in Austin in recent years. I wrote ‘Back In The Game’ after my wife Kath and I went to Austin's Continental Club when they had a swing dancing night. It has a blues meets Texas swing feel while ‘I Can't Stay Here’ is more Tennessee. I'm exploring a lot of that as a Canadian who has absorbed plenty of this over the years.” Over the course of a long and illustrious career, now spanning more than 40 years, the pride of Lynn Lake, Manitoba has covered more terrain than the Franklin expedition. From early beginnings as a folk-based singer/songwriter playing the coffeehouses of Toronto's famed Yorkville scene in the early '70s, Tom became the driving force in adventurous rockers Red Rider prior to achieving massive international success (over six million copies sold worldwide and diamond-sales status at home) with breakthrough 1991 album Mad Mad World and its anthemic hit Life Is A Highway. Since then, he has continued to create potent new material while cementing his place in the hearts of Canadians through crowd-pleasing performances from coast to coast and his unwavering work on behalf of humanitarian causes and organizations. An Order of Canada recipient and Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee, Cochrane has won eight Juno awards and numerous other industry honours, including the 2013 Allan Waters Humanitarian Award and a Grammy nomination. Like a big freight train winding its way north then west in the early mist of a Canadian summer morning, Take It Home has a power to it that is as compelling as it is haunting TRACKLISTING: Can’t Stay Here / Sunday Afternoon Hang / Diamonds / Country Girls Never Gets Old / When The Light Starts To Fade / Pink Time / First Time Around / The Ones That I’ve Known / Another Year / A Prayer For Hope / Back In The Game* *Bonus Track INTERNAL USE Label Name: Universal Music Canada Territory: Domestic Release Type: O For additional artist information please contact Ivar Hamilton at 416-718-4076 or [email protected] UNIVERSAL MUSIC 2450 Victoria Park Avenue, Suite 1, Toronto, ON M2J 5H3 Phone: (416) 718-4000 Fax: (416) 718-4218 UNIVERSAL MUSIC CANADA NEW RELEASE Artist/Title: Colin James // Hearts On Fire Cat. #: 0254715466 Price Code: SP Order Due: January 8, Release Date: February 3, 2015 2015 File: Pop Genre Code: 33 Box Lot: 25 6 02547 15466 8 COLIN JAMES – HEARTS OF FIRE Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame inductee Colin James will release his 16th studio album, Hearts On Fire Hearts On Fire was co-produced by Colin James and long-time collaborator Colin Linden (ABC’s Nashville). The album was recorded at House of Blues in Nashville, TN and Magic Ten Studios in Vancouver, BC. The lead single, “Just a Little Love” features a stellar line-up of musicians that includes; George Receli (drums and percussion), Willie Weeks (bass), Reese Wynan (keyboards), Colin Linden (guitar) and Ann & Regina McCrary (backup vocals). “Making this record with my good friend Colin Linden with such a fantastic veteran rhythm section was an amazing experience,” Colin recounts. “The majority of the recording was done in Nashville during a stretch of warm spring weather so every time I hear the songs I feel like I’m right back in The South. I hope my fans enjoy listening to this record as much as we all enjoyed making it.” Colin James has won six Juno Awards including “Male Vocalist of the Year” and the “Best Producer” award for his efforts with The Little Big Band. He is the recipient of 17 Maple Blues Awards having most recently been honored in 2013 with “Entertainer of the Year”.
