Up to this point, Canadian singer/songwriter Graham Greer has been best known as the lead singer/guitarist/songwriter of Barstool Prophets, who toured Canada and the US through much of the 1990′s in support of one 1993 indie release and two major-label releases while signed to Mercury/Polygram (1995′s “Crank” and1997′s “Last of the Big Game Hunters”).
‘Paranoia’, the second single from ‘Crank’, was featured in the Alliance/Atlantis major motion picture “Never Talk to Strangers” (starring Rebecca Demornay and Antonio Banderas) and helped spur ‘Crank’ on to worldwide release in 1996 through Polygram.
Graham has since released one solo CD under the name ‘Moonlight Graham’ entitled “Palookaville” (2003) which he co-produced with Joe Hardy (ZZ Top, Steve Earle, Tom Cochrane) and released a new self-titled solo CD in late 2009. This time the production is shared between Graham, Joe, and Graham’s long-time friend and multi-instrumentalist Todd Huckabone.
The new recordings were fired back and forth via the internet between Huckabone’s Listening Eye Studio in Chelsea, QC and Joe Hardy’s studio in Houston, TX as tracks were added and revamped at both ends. A few of the songs even detoured through Shanghai, China where Ottawa-expatriate Frank Levin added Hammond organ.
