OLD MAN LUEDECKE ANNOUNCES NEW LP, She Told Me Where To Go, via Outside Music
Last month, two-time JUNO Award winner Old Man Luedecke stepped off the scallop boat and shared his first new music in a while, minus his trademark banjo, a suggestion from Afie Jurvanen ( Bahamas ). Old Man Luedecke has announced his upcoming album, She Told Me Where to Go, produced by Jurvanen, and is sharing the title track from the LP.
“The footsteps of doom kick us off,” says Luedecke about the new single. “This is the first OML track that may blow your hair back. This is music for a gunfight that could take place in The Mandolorian in the shape of a savage country blues with a hellish destination. The certainty of fate acts as an introduction to the ease of what is to follow. ‘I do not hurry, I do not rush, I don’t waste no effort on what don’t mean much’ opens up the album’s laid back grappling with fate and spirit and love.”
“The video does a pretty good job turning the underside of a big oak tree at my house in rural Nova Scotia into the gravedigging scene from Oh Brother Where Art Thou,” Luedecke notes. “One of me is wearing a hand loomed vest from Lunenburg, the other one a 6X Beaver hat from an earlier and unpublic cowboy song obsessed version of myself. The blue flower tele I have had for ten years but it’s been overshadowing the five string banjo for a prolonged post pandemic moment. I had a lot of fun shooting myself because my internal struggles are without strategy and unlike chess.”
Old Man Luedecke is currently on a 10-week North American tour today. All dates are listed below and tickets can be found HERE.
