Saint Joe Hazelwood
Saint Joe Hazelwood (now called The Points North)’s debut full length is a collection of ten hushed gems penned by Chris and Regina over the past two years. The tracks on this thoroughly moving release were recorded as live takes with very few overdubs and feature such diverse instrumentation as acoustic guitar, flute, whistle, octave mandolin, violin, and subtle percussion.
The initial 50 copies of this CD are housed in small cardboard boxes, which were each screen printed by hand with black ink. It took less than one month to sell out the first pressing of Saint Joe Hazelwood’s debut CD. An additional 87 copies were pressed in mid-November. This pressing is identical to the first pressing except it has updated mixes for some tracks and the Grinding Tapes logo behind the CD has a black border around it.
