Various Artists - 4x4=12 (CD)

Little more than a year since the release of its predecessor, 2009's 'For Lack Of A Better Name', comes this third official album from Canadian Joel Zimmerman. The time off he took to recover after collapsing onstage during his 2010 tour has not affected his prolific recording output, and several tracks included here have already been released as singles including 'Some Chords', 'I Said', 'Sofi Needs A Ladder' and 'Animal Rights'. The album features collaborations with a number of guest vocalists.
