Dear Australians,
I’d been hearing for years that we Canadians
have a lot in common with you. It was only
after visiting your warm, rugged country in April
2006 that I realized how true this is. Like your
country, Canada is also a penal colony, long
imprisoned by rock and roll. The only difference
is we make our records from snow and sleet
instead of surf and sand.
My first trip to Oz was as a “troubadour” in
support of my solo record, LaDeDa. But there
are two sides to every planet and performer.
The compact disc you hold in your hand reflects
the other side of what I do with my band, The
Emergency. This compilation features songs from
our three releases from 2001 through 2006 and
many of the tracks chosen are the heart of our
live show, which we intend to bring your way
soon. The DVD also included in this package
features live band and solo performances from
1998 through 2005, as well as all our music
videos to date. It’s an adult portion but I
wanted Australia to feel the Commonwealth love.
I hope you enjoy the music as much as we enjoy
playing it.
From New Scotland to New South Wales,
Joel Plaskett
