Strange Path

Following 2017’s critically acclaimed ‘Love Versus’ album, Leeroy Stagger has emerged with ‘Strange Path’, his most ambitious and philosophical creation yet. In making ‘Strange Path’, Stagger surrounded himself with some of the best players in the business, including drummer Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Elliot Smith, Los Lobos), long time collaborator Tyson Maiko, Paul Rigby (Neko Case, Garth Hudson, Jakob Dylan), Ryland Moranz and Michael Ayotte. From the appropriately haunted “Leonard Cohen is Dead” and the cosmic reflections of album-closer “The Light” to the hard-edged stomp of “Jesus and Buddha” and glam-rock bliss of “Strange Attractor,” it’s an album of sharp hooks and sharper insights, a statement on loss, forgiveness, pain, faith, The Clash, Gord Downie, love, death, fear, lettng go, higher powers, Mother Earth, obsession, redemption, and the path we all walk through life.
