A Day in the Studio
Norm Hacking
solo cassette tape (1993; not currently available)

 

Some albums take a year and 5 months to do and some take one day. Canadian songwriter Norm Hacking received a day in a studio for some freebie consulting work.

I sat on a stool with my guitar and played a bunch of songs that I considered would be a work tape. Four hours later it was an album.

Norm's manager at the time, Scott Richards, thought that the solo tape was so good it was packaged and made available to the public. Some fans still consider this solo performance collector's item their favourite Hacking album. It shows that his songs, lovely with the type of accompaniment on his other albums, remain strong and retain the listener's attention in solo performance.

All songs are by Norm Hacking.
