Description

140g black vinyl12″, 1-LPModern Pain by Corb Lund, originally released in 1994, is finally getting its first vinyl release after over thirty years. The album by one of Canada most beloved and revered songwriters captures the raw and do-it-yourself nature of his early acoustic and folk records. The album showcases songs that range from upbeat, punchy numbers like Expectation and the Blues, which was one of the first songs Lund wrote, to sentimental tracks like We Used to Ride em, inspired by his father’s retirement from steer wrestling. Modern Pain was my very first record of folk/acoustic/western/non-metal songs. I did it when I was still in my rock band, The Smalls. I made it in a basement on the cheap and it sounds like it, says Lund, But I still dig the songs. And it has an innocent, indie charm that there no way I could recreate now. They say limitation is good inspiration. I gave away hundreds of these to people in the early days.TRACKLIST: Expectation and the BluesWe Used to Ride emUntitled WaltzYour Game AgainOwlsongLa Souffrance des GensLament for Lester CousinsLives of Attrition (The Best We Can Do)You and Your CreepingHeavy and LeavingWaste and TragedyManyberriesEvil In Me
