TORONTO -
Bob Wiseman brings
in the new year releasing his new album Giulietta Masina at the Oscars
Crying on January 24, 2013 via Blocks Recording Club/God
Finds Cats.
Giulietta Masina at the Oscars Crying is, at its bare essence, a document of death and deceit. The songs bring forward stories and musings about the late Toronto actress Tracy Wright, Haiti's first democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Phillip Guberman, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, The Scottsboro Boys, Bo Didley and, of course, (the reference in the album title) the great filmmaker Frederico Fellini.
Wiseman's friends never cease to surprise. Album guests include Mary Margaret O'Hara, Basia Bulat, Serena Ryder and jazz genius Mark Hundevad. The disc is mixed and mastered by Juno award-winner L. Stu Young who also has the distinction of having worked with both Princes.
