THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “After over a decade, Burton Cummings is back with a brand-new solo album, A Few Good Moments.
Produced by Cummings, A Few Good Moments sees the renowned artist and lead singer / principal songwriter of The Guess Who backed by his longtime band. Highlights include Up To The Minute, which was co-written with Jim Vallance (who also helped pen some of Bryan Adams’ biggest hits), a pair of songs co-written with guitarist Michael Zweig — Magic Town and Speak To Me — as well as a cover rendition of Shape I’m In, written by Marc Benno, Doyle Bramhall and Doyle Bramhall II, originally performed by blues-rock supergroup Arc Angels.
“The songs on this album took a while to become the proper collection,” Cummings said. “I believe in these songs because they are the result of having lived more years. At this point I have no interest in writing teenage love songs. Aging has changed the writing and that’s natural. I believe in these songs and I hope that the people who have followed my material enjoy them. I want this album to stand up when it’s listened to years from now.”
