Modern Pain
by
Corb Lund
, originally released in 1994, is finally getting its first vinyl release after over thirty years. The album by one of Canada's most beloved and revered songwriters captures the raw and do-it-yourself nature of his early acoustic and folk records. The album showcases songs that range from upbeat, punchy numbers like "Expectation and the Blues," which was one of the first songs Lund wrote, to sentimental tracks like "We Used to Ride 'em," inspired by his father's retirement from steer wrestling. "
Modern Pain
was my very first record of folk/acoustic/western/non-metal songs. I did it when I was still in my rock band, The Smalls. I made it in a basement on the cheap and it sounds like it," says Lund, "But I still dig the songs. And it has an innocent, indie charm that there's no way I could recreate now. They say limitation is good inspiration. I gave away hundreds of these to people in the early days."
