For his sophomore release, 2011's "I Just Lost My Mind", Keith Hallett of the Hanwell Road in Hanwell, New Brunswick enlisted Nova Scotia's Garrett Mason as producer (and guest player on one track).  After completing the record, the two teamed up to criss-cross the nation playing in support of the "tremendously funky, raw and groove-filled disc".  (Bob Mersereau, CBC).  Keith, Garrett, and the band have been working it out together the past few years in festival tents, theatres and clubs across Canada, with Hallett and Mason sharing vocal duties and battling it out nightly in intense solo-trading sessions.  

It's only recently that Keith has also gone back to booking dates under his name alone, adding Hammond organ phenom Pete "Kid" Rioux to the band with Ray Jay Junior on bass and Chuck Bucket on drums.  Mersereau goes on:  "I have to admit I'm the first person to be critical of modern electric blues. Usually, I find all the current electric guitar bands sound the same, and don't do anything to advance the craft...Well, I'd never say that about Hallett, as I don't hear him being a copycat of anyone".
