Hey all!
First of all, thank you to everyone who has been listening and digging the new album Time Out For Tomorrow. It’s been out for almost two weeks here in Canada and overseas. It gets its physical release in the US tomorrow, Friday November 22nd. Many thanks to popular US music website The Bluegrass Situation for sharing the closing track “Tomorrow In My Mind.” Check it out here:https://thebluegrasssituation.com/read/listen-jerry-leger-tomorrow-in-my-mind/?fbclid=IwAR1xv-VtHj7GiKOoyJ0LsFevh62-rDD57oYeturYeaFnkOIHbfTj7ckfKJA

We’ve had a lot of great reviews for the record so far, I’m very grateful that more people are getting into this record. Rolling Stone in Europe gave it a 4.5/5 and calls it a masterpiece, in addition to UK’s UNCUT featuring me in their Nov issue, they have also given the album a great review for their January issue saying “The admirably prolific Leger’s 12th album in 15 years finds him further honing the articulate, hookladen Americana… this is from the top drawer… Leger charts a persuasive course along warm, laconic roads previously travelled by Glen Campbell and Nick Lowe.” AmericanaUK gave it a 9/10 calling it masterful. Plus Hamburg’s Sounds & Books, Glasgow’s Blabber’n’Smoke, the UK’s Rocking Magpie, Italy’s Roots Highway and Canada’s Exclaim! calls it “a beautifully crafted folk rock record.”

I’ve also done a few interviews discussing the new album that you can read:

Hey gang!
I’m excited that my new record Time Out For Tomorrow is now available! It received a 4.5 out of 5 review in the European edition of Rolling Stone Magazine out of Berlin this month saying “Time Out For Tomorrow is his masterpiece.” It’s the hippest Rolling Stone in the world, putting one of my favourite songwriters, Bob Dylan on its Nov cover.
You can order it on Vinyl or CD here: http://www.jerryleger.com/merch/
It’s also on Amazon to order (avail Nov 22 in the US) plus streaming and digital platforms: https://lnk.to/JerryLegerTOfT

The album is again produced by Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies and out on their label, Latent Recordings / Warner Music (CAN) / Proper Music (UK & EU) / Redeye (US Nov 22). It features my longtime band The Situation plus Tim Bovaconti, Aaron Comeau and Alan Zemaitis.
We hope you dig it!
