Greetings music fans.

Here is a little project that RC and Mossy are working on long distance. RC is recording the songs in Vancouver then sending the tracks to Mossy in Rockford, Illinois for him to add a little ambiance. They want to do a 5-6 song ep, then release it digitally. Then they want to do two more. Fine by me. Those are my kind of recording sessions: cheap like borscht. And the whole long distance, virtual recording angle will probably be easy to sell. Like Streisand and Diamond on ‘You Don’t Bring Me Flowers’. Except Mossy and RC project more love.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

The 2006 release from Kingsway & Counterrevolutionaries.

The third release from this ever-evolving Vancouver collective, Brand New Golden Oldies is Kingsway singer/songwriter RC Joseph’s most rock ‘n’ roll endeavor to date. Featuring support from Canadian indie darlings Counterrevolutionaries as well as guest appearances from trumpeter Shaun Brodie (New Pornographers, The Great Outdoors, Hayden) and percussionist Steven Wegelin (Radiogram, The Great Outdoors), Brand New Golden Oldies is reminiscent of rock ‘n’ roll in simpler times, revisiting the upbeat swing of early Neil Young, the dark transcendence of CCR, and the grittier moments of Roy Orbison. Recorded at East Van Eden Studios, produced by RC Joseph and Adam Nation, mixed by the Mooncussers’ Colin Funk, and mastered at Profile Studios by prolific hit-maker Chôn (Ox, The Be Good Tanyas), Brand New Golden Oldies is yet another bright light on DDG Records’ luminescent coastline of extraordinary Canadian music.

“With a debut that was perhaps one of the best in recent Canadian indie history, it seems unlikely that Kingsway could continue to get better with each release, but somehow they do. Brand New Golden Oldies is Kingsway’s finest work yet… RC Joseph might just be the best lyricist in Canada.” – 24 Hours
