Old Man Luedecke annouces the deluxe edition of his 2024, electric guitar-driven record She Told Me Where To Go. Commenting on the release of this deluxe edition, Luedecke says, “My banjo never made it onto the original version of She Told Me Where To Go. Though it was always in the trunk of my car or in the corner of the studio, and though the songs have rung out with it in countless concerts since the album's release in 2024, the decision in the recording sessions was always “no banjo.” Now, however, we present several of the album cuts reimagined in my classic format of solo banjo and voice. Hope you enjoy, find yourself munching pleasantly on the words, and share it with friends and family.”

Old Man Luedecke lumbered up the highway to record these tunes with Joshua Van Tassel (Bahamas, Donovan Woods). The thought was to strip the songs down to the studs, just Chris and his banjo. They revisited a few album tracks, including the title track, as well as a back porch take on Cat Power’s “The Greatest”, with indie pop artist, and fellow Nova Scotian, Willa Owen joining him on vocals. “Earlier this year,” says Old Man Luedecke, “I saw a moving Cat Power performance at Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia that was affecting and highly theatrical, and which infiltrated my subsequent dreams. Looking for a song to sing that would be a challenge, I found myself listening to this on repeat around a visit to a Bavarian restaurant in rural New Brunswick. On the morning of the session, I called my friend Willa to help me out as I was leaving for the studio. She adds a wonderful delicate foundation.”
