Brockley took the time to record while taking a break from touring as the guitar player for The United Steel Workers of Montreal. Since October he had been filling the guitar position while their regular was on paternity leave. To record the album, Brockley called up the best drummer and upright bassist he could think of, his good friends from out west, Leon Power and Kevin Bertram, and spent a few days recording at the treatment room in Montreal. Recorded live off the floor to 2" tape, Brockley's first full length album has a classic sound that could not suit his songwriting better. The album offers 9 tracks of original folk music, with a hard shot of grit to boot. There is also an underlying infectious rhythm that can only happen when three like minded friends spend a little too much time together touring in a wood paneled Buick Century wagon. Since arriving in Montreal on New Years day 2008, Steve Brockley has played shows in all kinds of terrible and wonderful rooms and situations. He started his musical journey as a sideman on guitar playing many different styles of music. The road brought him as far east as Montreal, and that's where he decided to hunker down and shift his focus to writing. Starting anew as a singer/songwriter, he has been compared to all sorts of people, often corresponding to whatever his facial hair situation is at the moment. However, influences can be heard in his writing from Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, John Hurt, and a pool of new and old time music that he loves. Mixed together with his variety of playing experiences, something interesting happens. “How someone so young can create such a folky, genuine sound amazes me!” Josie-Anne Huard, Radio host Univers Folk, CHOQ FM Montreal “His album, crafted in the riff-filled, storytelling tradition of legends like Johnny Cash, is beyond his years.” Natalie Appleton, Vernon Morning Star “He displays a distinct talent for story telling set to music and writes gorgeous backgrounds for his musical poetry”.
