Powerhouse Ottawa singer\u002Dguitarist Angelina Hunter and her band are stoked to release their first album on vinyl.
“I really like being able to hold a full album in my hands and look at the artwork and follow the lyrics,” Hunter says, “and I’ve always been one who enjoys listening from beginning to end because I know how much thought and effort bands put into the order of their songs and the flow of the album. I like the hiss and crackle, too, and I find the sound is warmer.”
With the vinyl supply replenished during the pandemic, Hunter and her bandmates — husband Sandy Hunter on drums and Adam Bell on bass — decided to take the plunge with the album they recorded at Dean Watson’s Buckingham studio last spring, which was released digitally on June 3.Article content “Then we had a crazy idea,” she says. “‘What if we turn it into two songs?’ So we took the chord progressions and turned it into a slow ballad called Sun Never Sets, and we took the riff and wrote a whole new song, Let It Slide, a really cool, driving tune. It came together and because it happened so last minute, it really made it feel fresh when we were recording it.”
Another experience that led to her love of blues and blues-rock was going to shows with her father at the now-closed club, Tucson’s. She was 11 when Dad, a blues fan, convinced the doorman to let her in, and the pair started a routine of catching the first set of the Friday night gigs.
