Release Notes:

‘Songs From the Mud’ is Brock Zeman’s second album
and one on which he has gone back to acoustic basics
with some fairly spectacular results. The album
consists of 14 tracks, one of which is a cover
(‘Dark as a Dungeon’ by Merle Travis). For a 24 year
old Canadian, Zeman does a remarkably good
impression of a grizzled old authentic country
singer. He sings of; the devil, mining and outlaws
with the authority of somebody much older and more
experienced. On ‘Scarecrow Blues’, Zeman even sounds
like the slightly younger brother of Tom Waits.
‘Songs From the Mud’ is a great, consistently strong
record and one that elevates Zeman into the pantheon
of top notch Canadian singer song writers.
