   Newfoundland singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and   
   producer Jim Fidler is set to release his new rock concept   
   album on December 8. I will post a review of the album   
   and details on the virtual launch a little closer to the date.   
      
   But for now, the first single off the album, Peace of Mind,   
   has just been released. It is a tapestry of sound, including   
   some stellar sax work from guest Rory Hoffman, and   
   with thought-provoking lyrics. It can be streamed for   
   free at https://jimfidler.com/new-single/ but if you like   
   it I recommend you buy it directly from the bottom of   
   that website for CAN$0.99 (US$0.72, 0.67 Euro, 0.58 pound)   
   to support the artist.   
      
   Since it is a rock concept album, it is a departure from   
   his earlier reggae, celtic folk, and world music   
   repertoire. Much of that early material is also available at   
   https://www.jimfidler.com/ .   
      
   I’m not sure if he recorded the lyrics in a stream of   
   consciousness live or not, but I think he did. (I’ll   
   check with him on the weekend and follow up   
   with the details.)
