    Written while living near The Beaches in Toronto, The Freedom Sessions is an honest portrait into the mind of this seasoned Toronto born Musician. With guitar in hand he delivers raspy vocals backed by beautiful haunting melodies with socially conscious lyricism that promotes awareness, unity, and peace.
    Black Suit Devil’s debut brings together some of Toronto’s finest Musicians to help expand its sound.
    Neil Cameron, a classically trained violinist, has been a part of BSD’s live shows for over two years lending his East Coast style to songs like “Carry On” & the second album single “Dreams”, a song meant to inspire hope in those young and old to reach for their dreams despite any obstacle or opposition. Wesley Collet Taylor on upright bass infuses the record with an element of jazz, as heard on the track “Bullets”, a tribute to the world’s great leaders in the peace through non-violence movements. John Brand, a multi-instrumentalist lending his Piano chops and Colin Riddoch, a young up-and-coming jazz drummer, both add their unique flair throughout The Freedom Sessions.
    Featured on the album’s first single “Fumble”, written about the struggle to keep up in day-to-day life and cope with worldwide injustice, is veteran singer/songwriter Chris Staig who adds a southern country twang with his slide guitar and Ansley Simpson an accomplished Anishinaabe Artist whose voice adds a sense of comfort to the dark undertones of the song.
    “Blind Man”, with its mystic tribal desert dance feel, is the lead off track featuring The Road Heavy’s Jules Cardoso’s fierce powerhouse vocals. Bringing an Eastern vibe to the album’s “Shackled” & “The Machine” is Toronto Tabla Ensemble’s Razak Pirani. Talented flautist Ross Pearson whose spontaneously intricate pieces were all recorded in a single-take, adds colour on songs such as “Devils & Dollar Signs”, “Shackled”,& “Stardust” (which was featured on CBC Searchlight).
    The album was recorded and engineered by Anthony Sestito at Edadic Music. With his dedication and attention to detail he helped to capture Andy’s vision for the album and bring it to life.
    The Freedom Sessions was specially mastered for Vinyl and CD by Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel Mastering, who has mastered albums for artists such as The Sheepdogs, Matt Mays, Wintersleep, Broken Social Scene, Billy Talent.

lyrics

Blind Man


Behind closed doors

The deals are made

They play with our lives

Like it’s all just a game

And when they want

When they crave

They can take it all away

When man plays God

Nothing stands in his way

He takes what he wants

It’s the power he craves

One by one

Surrender and obey

Or be branded enemy

Until one power

Controls everything

You’re entrapped

You’re enslaved



Blind Man

Open your eyes

Blind man

They stole your life

Blind man

Stand up and fight

Blind Man

We’re running out of time



There goes the blind man

He’s at it again

Punching the clock

And waiting for death

Climbing up mountains

Fighting for a spot on the hill

Look at the blind man

Out in the mud

Killing his brother

Killing his son

Killing just to help them

Build up these walls



I get so tired

Of seeing

All this wrong

I get so tired

Of living in this world

Tell me father

Tell me

Where’s the love?
