    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

Carry On


Long walks through city streets

Midnight wine on Toronto’s beach

What a pretty face

The cutest toes I’ve seen

Concert halls and midnight brawls

Pizza slices hurled at walls

Man those kittie cats

They do the darnedest things



Piggyback ride

Down to the square

Laughing we were on our way

Out to find those hippies

with golden rings

Walked through hell

Hand in hand

Heaven must be called Marseille

Left some songs for Jim

Before we walked away

Singing



I love you baby

A love so pure and true

You’re always on my mind

I love you baby

One heart shared for two

Forever until the end of time



Just promise me when I’m gone

You will keep me in your heart

But please carry on



Don’t you cry for me

When I’m dead and gone

Just play my music

At my final curtain call

Spread my ashes

Out towards the setting sun

And carry on

Please Carry on

Find someone to love



Road trips down to N.Y.C.

Midnight riding through Catskill trees

Felt like ’69 via 2014

We’ll travel this world near and far

Home is always where you are

May our gypsy souls

Run forever free
