"The music of Lee Palmer is perhaps best described as a mix
of blues, country, jazz, folk and Americana. But above all it is very good
music, Lee Palmer played his songs with conviction. This is an interpreter we
believe every word and every sentence.” – Rudolph's
Music Reviews
Canadian guitarist and
songwriter Lee Palmer’s fourth album in as many years is a mixture of
Americana and blues featuring some of the best session players in Toronto,
affectionately known as “The One Take Players” for Palmer’s recordings.
Recorded at famed
Metalworks studio and produced by Palmer and Elmer Ferrer, the album tracks
were written and intended for release in 2016 but Palmer’s plans were
sidelined by quadruple bypass surgery. Not one to slow down, Palmer quickly
recuperated and headed straight into the studio to record the album.
Lee Palmer’s previous
releases received many positive reviews from critics around the world, landed
in heavy rotation on satellite radio, including being one of the top 10 most
played albums for 11 consecutive months, as well as campus and community
radio and speciality radio shows.
“This collection of
songs pays tribute to ‘My Town’ and ‘My Old Man’. It also tips a hat to the
late JJ Cale’s musical career with ‘Tulsa Sound’ and Glen Campbell’s fight
with Alzheimer’s in ‘That’s No Way to Go’. This album forms the musical
bridge that allows me to travel between the many genres that have influenced
my writing”, says Palmer.
With ten original
tracks, Bridge is another unique recording from Lee Palmer.
