Borealis Records is exceptionally pleased to announce that JUNO and CFMA award winning singer-songwriter James Keelaghan has just put the fnishing touches on a fantastic new album 'Second-Hand'. James' songwriting has often been cited for its keen sense of history 

On 'Second-Hand' he also takes on a number of topical issues of concern to us all. This, coupled with a command of the language and delivered with an unmistakably rich baritone, and it's not surprising that James has come to be considered one of Canada's all-time great singer songwriters.'Second-Hand' fnds James at the top of his game with ten new songs including co- writes with Catherine MacLellan, Lynn Miles, J.D. Edwards, Cara Luft and Dave Gunning. Joining James in studio was long time musical pal David Woodhead-Bass, Bob Stagg-Keyboards, and guitarists Bob Cohen, Dave Clarke and Joe Grass. Harmony vocals were provided by Pharis & Jason Romero and Kelly Prescott. The album was produced in Montreal by Bill Garrett.
