Peaced Together (Box) [Limited Edition] (Aus), Carl Dixon, CD

MelodicRock Classics is extremely excited and maybe just a little relieved to be announcing the long-awaited archives box set from Carl Dixon, the world-renowned Canadian guitarist, singer and songwriter, who has been fronting CONEY HATCH since 1981 as well as releasing 6 solo albums and writing with a whole host of artists along the way. 'Peaced Together,' a 6CD box set in a 'fat-pack' jewel case, limited to strictly 500 units worldwide. Since 2022, Carl Dixon and MRC CEO Andrew McNeice have been swapping files, sourcing audio, digitizing tapes, reels and DATs and then starting over again with new improved files and now, we have both finally reached agreement that everything is as good as could possibly be. JK Northrup has been involved all along the way, adding his thoughts and overseeing the remastering of every track. Carl Dixon states: "PEACED TOGETHER is in part the realization for me of every artist's dream; that people care about your work and want to share it with the world. It is, I hope, part of it's charm that this project is based largely on music that has never gone through the stages of refinement, polishing and presentation to the world in big-bucks album releases. This collection consists of my unreleased musical works save one or two exceptions. It spans many years and veers across different styles and genres, some more fashionable now than others, but I'm pleased that I can hear elements of my true self throughout. Some of these works were re-recorded for inclusion in album projects but most remained known only to me and to those who helped make them. I am delighted to now have these many "hidden gems" released out into the wide world by Andrew McNeice and MelodicRock Classics. I hope they bring a measure of joy to all who choose to spend time listening. Rock on wit' ya bad selves!"
