A favourite of \u003ci\u003eUncut\u003c\/i\u003e Magazine and \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e Germany, Leger has also earned the praise of fellow artists Ron Sexsmith and Doug Paisley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn his new album '\u003ci\u003eDonlands'\u003c\/i\u003e, Leger has taken a different approach, teaming up with legendary Canadian producer\/engineer Mark Howard (Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Neil Young), whose trademark atmospheric sound adds an entirely new dimension to Leger's approach. Named after the street in Toronto's east end where it was recorded, in what once was the Donlands Theatre, '\u003ci\u003eDonlands'\u003c\/i\u003e presents Jerry Leger as he's never been heard before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Not a lot of people make records like Mark Howard anymore,\" Leger says. \"After I got to tell him how much Tom Waits' '\u003ci\u003eReal Gone'\u003c\/i\u003e meant to me, I fell right into the experience. Like all my albums, we recorded '\u003ci\u003eDonlands'\u003c\/i\u003e mostly live in the studio with my band The Situation [Dan Mock, Kyle Sullivan, Alan Zemaitis] in a circle--no headphones, just listening and existing, breathing as a whole.

With '\u003ci\u003eDonlands'\u003c\/i\u003e, he has made an album that stands as one of the peak moments in an already towering body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Latent","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50394518389067,"sku":"2055901","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50394518192459,"sku":"2055881","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_f0a4d8ba_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726441849"},{"product_id":"nothing-pressing","title":"Nothing Pressing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJerry Leger\u003c\/strong\u003e follows up his critically acclaimed \u003cem\u003eTime Out For Tomorrow\u003c\/em\u003e with \u003cem\u003eNothing Pressing\u003c\/em\u003e; produced by \u003cstrong\u003eMichael Timmins\u003c\/strong\u003e (Cowboy Junkies).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJerry's last self-released album \u003cem\u003eSongs from the Apartment\u003c\/em\u003e was a stripped-down lo-fi affair recorded in Leger's home using a cheap tape recorder with an internal microphone.
