Vintage Blend

1 videos • 41 views • by Hal Brolund Vintage Blend is a collection of Manitoba Hal songs reimagined and rearranged for cigar box guitar, ukulele and slide guitar. These newly recorded songs from the earliest stage of Manitoba Hal's career combine his rich, signature songwriting style with the clear and uncomplicated tone of homemade, "front porch" instruments. The album begins with Manitoba Hal's first ukulele, a 1955 Martin soprano. His grandfather gave it to him on the condition that he learn to play it. He did and it changed everything. A little folk, a little blues and a little rock n' roll… this album showcases Manitoba Hal's varied songwriting and musical styles. credits released October 15, 2019 Manitoba Hal - lead vocals, ukulele, cigar box guitar, slide guitar, cigar box bass Geoff Arsenault - junk percussion Support Vocals (arranged by Nicole Colbeck) Jessica Jürgenliemk Kathleen Glauser Merrie Howe Chett Buchanan Nigel D'Eon Nicole Colbeck All songs © Hal Brolund except This Condition and 30 Odd Days by Hal Brolund/Stephen Johns (SOCAN) Produced by Nicole Colbeck/Hal Brolund Recorded by Jay Pilzer at Maritimes Music Studio Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada Photography by Lisa Buchanan Design concept by Nicole Colbeck Graphic Layout by Hal Brolund license all rights reserved
