Les Stroud - Bittern Lake (2018) [Hi-Res]

"I’m presenting a message, a lyrical content and a sound that is a blend of all I have had infused within me over my lifetime. Its folk, blues, rock, progressive, pop, its whatever label you like to put on it."
- Les Stroud

On his fifth full-length album, Bittern Lake, the Canadian singer-songwriter issues an urgent call for environmental preservation with a collection of powerful original songs and classic covers, produced by the legendary Mike Clink (Guns ’N Roses, Beth Hart, Metallica).

Recorded at his home in Huntsville, Ontario, on the shore of its namesake
lake, Bittern Lake represents Stroud’s favorite way of making music: “live off the floor, no overdubs, everybody in one room, all at one time. The musicians I bring along, they just fall in love with the process.” Those musicians on Bittern Lake include members of Stroud’s longtime backing band, the Campfire Kings, as well as singer-songwriters Oh Susanna and Justin Rutledge, ace session drummer Tony Braunagel (Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal) and Cuban-Canadian guitar wizard Elmer Ferrer.
