David Francey’s new album, The Breath Between, is a poignant yet beautiful reminder of the passage of time, or as David describes it in the title track, “the breath between the here and gone”. It is introspective and intimate.

"In a time of uncertainty, we managed to pull together a nice body of work which created much joy in the making." DF

Although David has covered the themes of love and loss before, this album does so in a nostalgic and touching way, capturing a particularly reflective period in his life.

David Francey’s album, The Broken Heart of Everything, showcases his extraordinary skill as a lyricist. His so-good-they-could-be-traditional melodies, and themes of the camaraderie of small-town life, the drudgery of the daily grind, the pride in an honest day’s work, the sadness of losing loved ones, the joy of close family connections, and the quiet strength of mature love have struck a chord with audiences around the world.

"To me, song writing is a fortunate affliction. I enjoy hearing lyrics come to life. Some of the songs contained here have waited a while to be born, to have life breathed into them. All made it onto the train thanks to my bandmates Mark, Chris and Darren. I could never have made the trip without them." ~ David Francey

"The songs on this album seem to me to encompass what proved a very difficult year. From the heights of joy to the depths of grief, the lesson learned was to celebrate every day spent on this side of the soil and to keep marching no matter what comes our way.  So say we all." ~ David Francey

"Many of the songs recorded here reflect my reaction to news - personal news, local news and world events. It was a great pleasure to work with my good friends Kieran, Fats, Richard and Lucas. This album was recorded live off the floor at Moraine Studios in Nashville. The experience was exhilarating and immediate.  I hope that comes through when you listen to Late Edition." ~ David Francey

In late May of 2005, David Francey and Mike Ford were granted the incredible opportunity to spend two weeks aboard the MV Algoville. The captain and crew of this 750-foot bulk carrier of the Algoma Central Laker fleet allowed them to witness life onboard first-hand. They sailed from Montreal to Thunder Bay and back along the Saint Lawrence Seaway and the majestic inland sea of the Great Lakes.

This CD is a collection of songs inspired by that trip.

"The songs on this album address the different paths my life has taken, both good and bad. Some were written from experience gained aboard an Algoma Central ore carrier. Some were written about people I met out on the road or the places I ended up.  Some are memories recalled and described. All deal with transitional moments in life, mileposts on the hopefully long march where we all earn our 'right' of passage." ~ David Francey

Recorded with David's good friend Kathryn Briggs, at the Old Town Hall in Almonte, Ontario.  Just voice and piano, Carols for a Christmas Eve has a simple elegance.  Meant to be sung along to, the songs on this CD are no younger than 118 years old!

"A lovely digitally preserved moment in the stellar career of one David Francey." ~ Les Siemieniuk, Penguin Eggs Magazine

This recording was made on November 11, at the 39th Annual Kent State Folk Festival, at the Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio. The evening was presented by WKSU (89.7), hosted by Jim Blum and was web cast live as part of FolkAlley.com's 'Live from Folk Alley' online concert series.

The First Set includes the stories behind the songs.

"...his best album to date. The songs are strong and the musicianship is exquisite. Just another brilliant CD to add to his collection of great works" - Chopper MacKinnon, Canadian Spaces

Recorded in Nashville with veteran performers Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch and Fats Kaplin.  This collection of original Francey tunes shares the simple recording style of David's first three CDs but adds a driving rhythm provided by these amazing Nashville artists.

"[Skating Rink] is something of a tour de force, a collection of 13 reflective pieces that contain countless compelling observations, yarns, confessions, hopes, dreams and regrets, all wrung from lives, homes and landscapes that are hauntingly familiar, undeniably Canadian."

                                                        ~ Greg Quill, the Toronto Star

The songs on Skating Rink are drawn from various stages of my life. Most were finally written down at the kitchen table where, if you look out the window, you can see the lights of the skating rink throwing at least a small part of the world into sharp relief.

"With a beautiful simplicity, David Francey's sophomore release [Far End of Summer] is just that, a non-complicated offering of stirring harmonies, acoustic instrumentation and finely crafted lyrics." ~ Martin Kemp, Calgary Record

"David Francey's Torn Screen Door CD is one of the very best albums I've heard.  I've found words and melodies from the album going through my head again and again.  Find it and buy it...you won't regret it."

                           ~ Vic Bell, the Nickelodeon, Calgary, Alberta
