Proof of Love is the follow up to Old Man Luedecke's widely acclaimed second album Hinterland. Produced by multi Juno Award-winner Steve Dawson, this recording finds the pride of Chester, Nova Scotia, well loved for the stark joyous simplicity of his powerful banjo driven solo shows, working with a full band for the first time... Recorded live off the floor in just a couple of days at the Factory Studio in Vancouver, Proof of Love captures the thrill of hearing music made in the moment. The result is a hooky unique take on folk music that swaggers with a breezy depth reminiscent of John Prine or a more lyrical John Hartford. The songs remain, as always, powerful early folk-inspired offerings that continue to marry the warmth and complexity of Old Man Luedecke's banjo interplay with the emotional lyricism that has won him a devoted following. This album was nominated and won the Juno for best Roots Traditional Solo Album of the Year at the 2009 awards.
