Cat Clyde

Both hailing from Canada, Cat Clyde and Jeremie Albino are cut from the same musical cloth that fuses together elements of folk, blues, Americana, and soul. In 2018 when Cat and Jeremie met there was an instant bond between the two as they discovered their music tastes uncannily aligned. They both grew up listening to many of the same records and admired many of the same musicians. After exchanging music with each other that they both really enjoy, Clyde decided to visit Albino’s country house in 2019. At the time they were both working on their own albums - that year Albino put out his first record, Hard Time, and Clyde released her second album, Hunters Trance - and they had been doing a lot of touring. It was a much-needed break from the pressure, and they were really able to let loose. Their morning routine consisted of playing a good record with breakfast and in the evening an all-night jam fest. An adapted cover of Blind Willie McTell’s blues classic “You [Was] Born To Die,” was recorded at Albino’s farm during that trip, and that was the tune that inspired them to create an entire record of songs they love by artists they admire. Choosing the songs came organically, as they dug into their collective music brains, sharing the pieces they have always loved. The result is Blue Blue Blue (out now), featuring 2 original songs (“Been Worryin’” and “Tried and Cried”) and 7 covers of some of their favorite artists.
