Daniel Lanois solo album: Acadie

[Gary L Dare <gld@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu>]

Canadian superstar producer Daniel Lanois (M+M/Martha & the Muffins,
Parachute Club, U2, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Robertson) has been lying
low and doing his own solo album just as he intimated at the Grammies
press conference.  It's called "Acadie" after the area in the Maritimes
(the chunk of Canada bordering on Maine) his ancestors came from.

(By the way, this is the second-largest francophone region in North
America; remember, not all French-Canadians are Quebecois.)

The cuts they played on CBC's Sunday Morning were inspired by the French
folksongs of his childhood, also sung "en francais".  This is a warning
to all that this album may not be released outside of Canada, as there
has been no mention of it in the press and it will have a high French
content.  Hmm . . . anyone up north know for sure?  Is it out in Canada?
Is his sister Jocelyne (ex-bassist of M+M) on it?
