I recorded the record at Sound Of One Hand studios in Ottawa&#8217;s east end. I worked day and night on the project in order to get everything in place to prepare to record the new record. All the staff at S.O.O.H were just great people to work with from John Dooher who just made the process so easy and enjoyable, Ross Murray at the board with his inspirational rockin&#8217; to the tracks, Marty Jones who&#8217;s final mix was exactly what I was shooting for, a country\/rock record with a little edge. <br><br>I&#8217;d like to thank all the musicians on the record once again, it was a pleasure working with you all. Many thanks go out to Al Bragg who co-produced the record. His experience at the board, as a musician and his ear were a God send. One of the things I learned from Al was focusing on the sound of every single note and more so on the vocal tracks, I was truly amazed at his ability to get things just right, no matter how big or small. Al also brought in some great guests such as Steve Piticco, one of the worlds great guitar pickers and Suzie Vinnick&#8217;s harmony tracks are as sweet as sweet can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is some more info on the record entitled&nbsp;<br>&#8220;Walk That Walk&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-771\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-148x148.jpg 148w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-31x31.jpg 31w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-38x38.jpg 38w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-215x215.jpg 215w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-640x640.jpg 640w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-180x180.jpg 180w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy-50x50.jpg 50w, http:\/\/www.leslepage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/walk-that-walk-1600x1600-copy.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les has written 9 of the 10 songs on the CD entitled &#8220;Walk That Walk&#8221; available on LHL Records.
