Blue Candy by Robbie Tucker
I began recording this album before the pandemic knocked us all on our asses. Having something to distract you while the world falls apart is always good; my distraction has always been music. Blue Candy is a collection of songs written over the years. Some tracks, such as The Haunted Schoolhouse & Sweet Rosie Marie, were written in 2008 while living in Montreal and performing live with my band, The Dangerous Crayons. Others, such as Dalton Walsh and Nevermore, were written well after and into the recording process. Also, I took a break halfway through recording this album to record my Christmas album, Peppermints.
During this project, I worked on improving my skills as a producer. I watched many YouTube tutorials on mixing and mastering, compression and EQ, LCR panning, and on and on and on. There is much to learn when producing music.
This album hopefully shows a spectrum of my colours. I made great efforts to stretch my musical skills and abilities to evolve my sound into new places. Again, hopefully, a direct result of working hard to be uniquely Robbie Tucker.
