T. Buckley - Frame By Frame Vinyl Record

Acclaimed Calgary, Alberta-based Americana artist T. Buckley returns with his second solo album Frame By Frame. Backed up by his top-notch band of multi-instrumentalists, Buckley delivers another of the trademark smooth and soulful vocal performances that make him one of the most talked-about artists from western Canada. Frame by Frame is inspired by the impact others have on our lives. On the song "Marilyn", Buckley remembers his father-in-law's sister, saying "We carry our loved ones with us even after they have passed. Their spirit remains with us, guiding our lives through the stories we tell about them." On "Before I Get To Turn Around," Buckley sings about a friend attempting to rebuild his life, and the album's title track, was written in honour of his grandfather who always stressed the importance of savoring life's special moments. For his debut solo release, 2018's Miles We Put Behind, Buckley pushed his creative boundaries by working with Grammy-nominated and multi-genre enthusiast, producer/engineer Howard Bilerman. The slick-yet-measured interpretation of Buckley's tooth and bone songwriting style gave new life to his narratives, and earned a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination. Buckley takes that approach a step further on Frame By Frame by working with producer/engineer Jeff Kynoch, whose past credits include albums by fellow Albertans Cayley Thomas, Jay Gilday and Altameda. Kynoch's open-minded sonic approach makes for an excellent pairing with Buckley's spirit of creatively pushing the envelope. With songs taken from stories etched in the trappings of prairie grasses and campfire ashes, T. Buckley commemorates the Western arena while paying hushed homage to the greats of songwriting and storytelling. His dedication to his craft continue to make his name known across provinces and states, steadily establishing him as a truly prolific and celebrated songwriter.
