It’s time to get excited folks! Scottish Canadian band The Real McKinzie’s has announced a release date for their new album Westwinds. March 27, 2012. It’s been a very long four years for some of us waiting for new material from these guys. Gord McKenzie said the following about the new record.
“We were holed up in Nanton, Alberta, Canada recording for over a month with award-winning producer and new friend, Steve Loree at Crabapple Downs. Our main idea for Westwinds was to create an all-electric album for our fans (to follow the all-acoustic record, Shine Not Burn). The goal was to release a great collection of songs that would not only make all of us McKenzies proud, but to also make that point that we’re not going anywhere anytime soon.”
