Description:
Culled from several lifetimes of stories and songs and inspired by the words and music of Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Billy Joe Shaver, Shuyler Jansen has delivered this decades country folk classic. Opening with the slightly epic and grandiose `Pegasus,` Shuyler braids a tale of infidelity, addiction, death and broken trust, re-occurring themes that seem to encompass the ten songs on Todays Remains. Produced by Juno Award winner Steve Dawson (Kelly Joe Phelps, Jim Byrnes, Jenny Whiteley), and recorded at the Factory (Vancouver BC), Todays Remains is an auspicious follow-up to Shuylers country-electro-folk Hobotron (2004) and Old Reliables The Burning Truth (2005).
