CANADA,CODY & THE DEPARTED - 3 (Sealed) (CD)

Cody Canada, a poster child of the Red Dirt scene as the front man of Cross Canadian Ragweed, is returning to the fray with his band the Departed and their first LP of new material in three years, 3. With the news comes the album’s first song, a winding country rocker called “Lipstick.” New Album 3, which will be released on June 29th, takes its name in part from the Departed’s lineup, which has been trimmed to a trio since the release of their last album with Canada at the helm, 2015’s HippieLovePunk. (Bassist Jeremy Plato was out front for an album of covers the following year.) The album reunites Canada with his old Ragweed producer, Mike McClure, who mans the controls for his first Departed project on 3.
