Norm Hacking's Albums:
Skysongs... A Writer's Collection

Norm's first album in CD format is a "best of" collection from Norm's vinyl to keep them accessible - "Folk artists don't have all-time hit collections," he says. It combines five favourites from Cut Roses (4, 5, 6, 11 and 12 below) and ten from Stubborn Ghost with four solo tracks (3, 7, 13, 18) recorded for this project at Comfort Sound studio. (See the links to the two earlier albums for musician credits.)

Skysongs was originally issued in 1996 as FORT0794 (Forty Seventh and Second Park Way), which is out of stock. The CD was reissued in November 2001- remastered with lyrics - on Three Flamingos Music label as 3FLAM 2002, with distribution by Festival. This CD of favourites now ends with "Shine," Norm's traditional concert-ending anthem for many years. The new Skysongs was released on November 14, 2001 at the gala launch of One Voice: A Tribute to Norm Hacking, Volume 1. Launch details and Buy CDs / Contacts for purchase details.
