Famed Canadian astronaut, Colonel Chris Hadfield releases his debut album, 'Space Sessions: Songs From a Tin Can.' With guitar and vocal tracks recorded in space, these sessions have the distinction of being the first 'off planet' album.

Col. Hadfield's version of Space Oddity, filmed at the International Space Station was viewed over 23 million times on YouTube. Bowie himself was a fan, posting on Facebook that it was 'possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created.

In 2013, Col. Hadfield spent five months aboard the International Space Station. In the evenings, following days full of scientific experiments, Col. Hadfield would pull out his acoustic guitar and power up GarageBand on his iPad to record guitar and vocals for songs he’d written alone, as well as with his brother and his son. Once back on Earth, Juno Award winning producer Robbie Lackritz was recruited to help finish the album. Noted musicians such as drummer Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith), Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) Mike O’Brien (zeus), Ben Lester (Field Report, S Carey, Tallest Man On Earth), Jay McCarrol (Hayden, Golden Dogs) and Dan Goldman (Snowblink, Hydra) were brought on board to help fulfill Hadfield’s original vision for full instrumentation on the songs.

“The serenity and grace I felt while orbiting our Earth, weightless by the window, gave a whole new place to write and perform music. I’m delighted to be able to share these completed works as a new way to help tell the stories of early space exploration,” says Col. Hadfield
