Jivewires - CDs and Sales

Discography

The Jivewires have written and produced four albums of original music. And the brand new one "Laughin' In The Poorhouse" is the best yet! (Or so we think...) Recorded live off the floor at the Old Almonte Town Hall in Almonte, Ontario (just west of Ottawa), the band feels that this is the best representation yet of how the group truly sounds. Ken Friesen did the engineering, mixing, and mastering for this session. Ken has recorded most of the top blues artists in Canada, and is house engineer for legendary Canadian band The Tragically Hip. He has done a fabulous job here - thanks Ken!
