about

This is the eighth release from blues and roots artist Sunday wilde of
Thunder Bay, Ontario. The recording brings back the roots of her
sound – live, off the floor, and on this album she is accompanied by
her back up musicians, the 1 Eyed jacks. The 11 tracks are comprised
of the usual Sunday lyrical recipe of man troubles, depression, and
tormented love, her rocking piano style, as well as her ‘one of a kind’
vocals.

Feature tracks on this selection are a tale of hope and grief titled
“Dead Man’s Clothes’’, a jazzy blues tune that focuses on the need of
passing on the belongings of those departed, and what burdens they
bring. Sunday does play homage to a few blues classics in this selection, most notably the blues standard “It Hurts Me Too” – which she has turned into a sullen tale, at once sparsely sad and eerily romantic. Opening up the album, Sunday creates a new spin on the classic Willie Dixon tune ‘Evil’ . In this selection of songs you will hear some honky tonk, some sullen blues ballads, as well as a few jazzier
tunes.

The 1 eyed jacks features Colin Craig on drums, a multi-genre percussionist who studied jazz drumming at Humber College and Arek Chamski on upright bass, who performs with a number of bands in the Thunder Bay area. Guitar World magazine featured artist Ari Lahdekorpi, of Vancouver, plays guitar on many of the tracks. All but one track were engineered and mixed by Gregory W. Schultz, this being his third album collaborating with Sunday. The special track “Spirits Up My Friend”, dedicated to her late partner Reno Jack, was produced by Mark Saville at Vintage Room studio.

“This lady is pure blues from her piano chops to her unique and
addictive vocal styling. I can't stop, and I won't “ Harpdog Brown

Sunday’s original music has garnered accolades worldwide. Winner
of the Voters Choice Award for Best Blues Song of 2011 and 2014 at the Independent Music Awards, her original songs have spun on the Roots Music Report for months, winning #1 Acoustic Blues album and #1 on RMR in Canada. She has won Best International Blues
Release of the Year at the Jimi Awards on blues411 for 2011, 2013 and also Best Roots and Blues album of the year for 2015. Sunday has received worldwide radio play on blues and roots stations and has hit #1 on SiriusXM Radio BB Kings Bluesville 2013. She has received Honourable Mention in 2015 and was a finalist in 2016 at the International Songwriting Competition for Blues. Throughout her career she has been awarded six Ontario Arts Council grants and Canada Council for the Arts awards for her work in songwriting and recording.
With this new recording Sunday continues on her musical journey, with a new set of musicians joining in to create a rootsy blues sound.
