In order to capture the perfect shot, one has to be ready for fragmentary shifts in illumination. In that spirit, Caught Light is Great Lake Swimmers’ ninth album, and perhaps their most nimble: be prepared, don’t overthink, act fast. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounder Tony Dekker has always been akin to a wildlife photographer, often choosing to make records in unique surroundings with a connection to Ontario history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis time he holed up in the Ganaraska Forest, between Peterborough and Port Hope, with producer Darcy Yates (Bahamas) and engineer Jimmy Bowskill (Blue Rodeo). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir goal was to tap the warmth of early ’70s folk\/pop\/rock, whether it be the cozy sonic sweater of Gordon Lightfoot’s classic work, or the gentleness of underrated American songwriter Dory Previn. Dekker made everyone listen to John Martyn’s 1971 album Bless the Weather before the session. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, Dekker ceded control to a producer, albeit one who had once been the bassist in Great Lake Swimmers (2007-08). Yates chose the studio and the backing band, which included veteran drummer Gary Craig (Bruce Cockburn, Jann Arden), who Dekker calls “the Jim Keltner of Canada.” Tracking was completed in three days, Nashville-style, with only two days of overdubs, including Colleen Brown’s backing vocals. Compare that with 2023’s Uncertain Country, which took three pandemic-stricken years to make. Caught Light was captured in the shortest amount of time Dekker had ever spent making a record, and it’s likely to be the one with perhaps the longest impact. That’s because Caught Light is not just the most fully realized Great Lake Swimmers album in years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"legalEUBtf_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"legalEUBtf\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"legalEUBtf\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"legalEUBtf_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"eppy5t-7pjycb-v0kupt-5bttqo\" data-cel-widget=\"legalEUBtf_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets_feature_v2\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"detailBullets_feature_v2\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"ezhwtn-4lw0a3-9xm7ef-c7eevk\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-template-name=\"detailBullets\" class=\"a-section feature detail-bullets-wrapper bucket\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47386192904446,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1546\/6351\/files\/81WJJyIhIgL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1759771583","url":"https:\/\/encorerecords.ca\/products\/cd-great-lake-swimmers-caught-light","provider":"Encore Records Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
