PRODUCT DETAILS
Hair In My Eyes Like A Highland Steer, a fan favorite in Corb’s catalog with features from legends Ian Tyson and Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, will finally get a wide release on vinyl for the first time since its release in 2005. The title track, based on Corb’s childhood memories of his grandpa’s “cows with no eyes,” starts off the album with his band’s signature, punchy swing. Saturated with family history, true stories, and nods to the old west, this record is filled with quintessential Corb Lund tracks. “This album has been our most commercially successful, and really fanned the flames of our torrid and short lived affair with country radio and CMT. We cut it in Tennessee and it’s full of fiddles and country piano. ‘Truck Got Stuck’ was a big moment for us and is still a live favourite. Hair In My Eyes introduced both Brady Valgardson on the drums and Grant Siemens playing guitar, both of whom have been long time band members. We still play a ton of these songs live as the core of our shows…I don’t focus as much on love songs as a lot of writers do,” says Lund, “And I find it more interesting to write tunes about whatever my brain is involved with at any given time. Could be ranch stuff or card games or home renos or starting campfires or books about 1970s politics. It all finds its way into the cauldron. I was spending a lot of time playing cards for semi-serious money during this period so there’s some of that going on.”
This limited edition release is part of the Corb Lund - Dark Horses Club. New West Records will be releasing unreleased records and material from Corb Lund throughout 2025 and 2026.
