Recorded in Montreal QC and in Hamilton ON with an ensemble cast of superb musicians including Canadian award winning musicians, guitarist Bill Dillon (Robbie Robertson, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan) and keyboardist Michael Fonfara (Lou Reed's band for a decade, Rhinoceros. Edgar Breau, the legendary Hamilton based artist and founder of internationally acclaimed psych/proto punk cult band, Simply Saucer returns with Acadian Drifter. Edgar Breau's music has always lived at the crossroads of tradition and rebellion, blending poetic lyricism with genre - defying instrumentation. His work resists easy categorization, drawing from folk, punk, rock and experimental influences to create something uniquely his own. His work often explores figures who exist on the fringes - outlaws, dreamers, hustlers and the people drawn to them. The brand new single off the album, Cornpone the King of Jive blends the swagger of southern fried garage rock with Breau's sharp literary influences, creating a high energy, darkly humorous reflection on populist leaders, folk heroes and the morally ambiguous figures who capture the public fascination. This return to a grittier, more electric sound reconnects Breau with the raw energy that has long defined his music. Throughout Acadian Drifter the listener will find once again what UK SHINDIG music columnist, Johnnie Johnstone writes about "He creates a glorious cornucopia of Pop and Folk tunes, effortlessly amalgamating Fahey- esque picking, raga influenced pyschedelia, CSN style West Coast harmonizing and avant garde guitar experiments with fluid Cosmic Country and pastoral Anglo Pop". Mastered by legendary Detroit producer, Jim Diamond.
