Elk-Lake Serenade [2LP 180 Gram 20th Anniversary Edition Deluxe]

Hayden - Elk-Lake Serenade [2LP] (180 Gram 20th Anniversary Edition Deluxe Edition 24"X24" Double)

Hayden celebrates the 20th Anniversary of his beloved ''Elk-Lake Serenade'' with new editions available in both standard reissue and limited, hand-numbered deluxe double LP versions. The release marks the launch of a larger project that will see Hayden's Hardwood Records reissuing his extensive catalogue on vinyl, many for the first time. ''Elk-Lake Serenade was originally released in 2004, so I'm a few months late putting out this 20th Anniversary edition. In early 2002, I had just completed a few tours supporting my Skyscraper National Park record, culminating with Toronto's Convocation Hall performance which was released as a live record that year. I settled back at home and began writing and recording what would slowly become my 4th full-length studio album. I chipped away at my new songs, mostly on my own, but a few talented folks helped out along the way - including my pals Howie Beck, the wonderful Burke Carroll and East Coast legend Julie Doiron (of Eric's Trip) singing on the song ''Roll Down That Wave''.'' -- Hayden Desser, 2025 In their review of Hayden's ''Elk-Lake Serenade'' in 2004, The Guardian predicted ''Chances are it'll grow on ya.'' and gave it 4 Stars. Just over 20 years later, ''Elk-Lake Serenade'' returns as an expanded edition to fill the void for all those many fans it did indeed ''grow on''. The deluxe edition includes 4 previously unreleased songs recorded during the Elk-Lake era: ''The Show'', ''Girls Are Gross'', ''In A Minute'', and ''Hoping it Won't Go Wrong'' alongside fan favourites ''Home by Saturday'', ''Woody'' and ''Hollywood Ending''. **** - Uncut **** - The Guardian NNNN - Now Magazine **** - MOJO **** - Q Recommends Album of the Week - The Sunday Times Album of the Week - The Globe and Mail
