Carl Dixon - Edge Of A Heartbreak (Previously Unreleased) Box Set 'Peaced Together' out Oct 24

Описание: PRE-ORDER NOW: www.melodicrockclassics.com/carldixon.html

MelodicRock Classics is extremely excited and maybe just a little relieved to be announcing the long-awaited CARL DIXON archives box set ‘Peaced Together’.
Well over 3 years in the making, the 6CD box set will arrive in fans hands by October 24.
The advance release date is to allow time for off-shore manufacturing and shipping. The last 6CD set MRC released had some issues with jewel cases, so we have explored all options worldwide to find the best case possible for these important releases.

You can pre-order NOW, with the full digital delivery due next month.

‘Peaced Together’ is a 6CD box set in a ‘fat-pack’ jewel case, limited to strictly 500 units worldwide and priced at $99 (including worldwide shipping).

Since 2022, Carl Dixon and MRC CEO Andrew McNeice have been swapping files, sourcing audio, digitising 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 its 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 rerecorded 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!” ~ CD. 2025

Carl Dixon is of course the world renowed 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.

The 6CD set will be broken up into the following categories:
Disc 1 – Anthems Volume 1
Disc 2 – Anthems Volume 2
Disc 3 – More Rock & Some Roll
Disc 4 – The Softer Side
Disc 5 – A Little Centre of Left
Disc 6 – Tracks That Can’t Be Left Behind

These songs come from a variety of sources and eras, but it’s best left to Carl to expand on his earlier comment:

“The one hundred-plus tracks on ‘Peaced Together’ are evidence of a life spent in song writing whenever and however it could be done. From my earliest studio demos with my high school chums, to the most recent DAW creations from my home studio, it’s all expressing something that I thought needed to be said. We all write, sing and play our personalities through our art.
Here lies AOR Rock in various stages of development, sure, but there’s so much more in addition.
Some of the AOR stalwarts who appear on Peaced Together as co-writers and performers include Stan Meissner, Marc Ribler, Van Stephenson, Brett Walker, Taylor Rhodes, Kevin Savigar, Marc Ferrari, Steve Shelski, Jack Conrad and Steve Plunkett and that’s just Disc 1!
Harry Hess turns up in two songs we recorded during the run-up to the debut Harem Scarem album; that’s his unmistakable voice you hear on Too Much Paradise.
Songwriters are generally an affable, collaborative bunch and I learned much from all of my partners over the years. Special mention must go to Van Stephenson who was very kind and instructive in his gentle way when I was a greenhorn turning up in Nashville for the first time. Four of these songs are my collaborations with him.
Uniquely, eight tracks included here are collaborations with my father Ron Dixon, based on his poems and writings. Something of him endures through the music.
A VERY wide range of styles and approaches is heard on ‘Peaced Together’. Nashville, New York, L.A., San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Toronto and smaller communities; I travelled far and wide to meet great people and make these songs.
There’s lots of rock as you might expect with my history but also pop, blues, country and funk. Sometimes they were just for fun, sometimes it was like trying on a stylish hat to see if it looked good on me. I’m proud of all of these tracks, else I would not have put them out on display like this.
It’s crazy to me that we haven’t emptied the cupboards to make this collection.”
