The Ache
Norm Hacking
(watch for early 2008 release)
This album is dedicated to Kathy O. Hacking
...with much love, and like, and laughter, and hope.
 In
contrast to his Stubborn Ghost album's long recording
period, Canadian songwriter Norm Hacking's part of The Ache
was recorded in just a few intense sessions with producer John Switzer.
Made with assistance of the Ontario Arts Council, this CD had only
a limited pre-release pressing and no commercial copies are yet
available. Musicians have been added to some tracks and re-mixing
completed, but those additions are not yet reflected on this page
- watch for news of release in a tribute memorial concert in early
2008. |

Pre-release cover art "Blind Love" and booklet design by Lisa Graziotto; the full release will have a new design. Norm put this CD up for adoption, as reported by Mitch Potter in "Aching for a Hearing" in The Toronto Star on January 5, 2001. For a follow-up report, see Cate Friesen's CBC Radio One "Roots Report" at: http://radio.cbc.ca/insite/FRIESEN_TORONTO/2001/1/16.html Global TV's Sean Mallen also filed a report on "First National News" on January 17, 2001. The story is to be continued with the CD launch announcement - stay tuned. As usual, all songs are originals by Norm Hacking. Song order (number after time is track order on pre-release CD disc where different; final times may vary). All song lyrics will be in the CD booklet and added here nearer the release date. |
