Stephen Mougin and I have been planning this album for years. He did a brilliant job overseeing and producing this new creative work. I’m eternally grateful to all the performers for sharing their talents and bringing these songs to life,” says Rick Lang.

“Many years ago, when Rick Lang brought me this idea and a huge collection of his writing”, proclaims producer Stephen Mougin. “I was immediately hooked. The opportunity to breathe life into these songs, curate a stable of known and lesser-known vocalists, and then release it on our DSR label was too much to resist. Rick and I share a New England heritage and this project features story-songs, most of them true, with a heavy emphasis on tales from that region. I’m proud of the album we’ve created and thankful to all of the amazing performers who helped bring “A Tale To Tell” from concept to reality. I think folks are going to really enjoy this peek back in time to the hardships, love, determination, and perseverance of past generations.”

The album is available to DJs and radio programmers on AirPlay Direct , or by request to DSR Radio contact, Jana Mougin: jana@darkshadowrecording.com
