Modern Pain

Description

Modern Pain by Corb Lund, originally released in 1994, finally gets its first vinyl release after more than thirty years. The album by one of Canada's most beloved and revered singer-songwriters captures the raw, handcrafted nature of his early acoustic and folk records. The album features songs ranging from upbeat, punchy numbers like "Expectation and the Blues," which was one of Lund's earliest written songs, to sentimental songs like "We Used to Ride 'em," inspired by his father's retirement from steer wrestling. "Modern Pain was my very first album of folk/acoustic/western/non-metal songs. I made it when I was still in my rock band, The Smalls. I made it in a cheap basement and it sounds like it," says Lund, "But I still love the songs. And it has an innocent, independent charm that there's no way I could recreate now. They say limitation is good inspiration. I gave hundreds of copies to people back then. This limited edition is part of the Corb Lund - Dark Horses Club. New West Records will release unreleased records and material by Corb Lund throughout 2025 and 2026."
