In Man on a Wheel, Scott Nolan pays homage to the poet Patrick O'Connell, who influenced and inspired him early in his musical career. As a songwriter, Nolan doesn't simply set O'Connell's words to music. By splicing O'Connell's lines together in new ways, Nolan takes the words to new places. The resulting songs express O'Connell's brilliant sensibility while resonating with that unique Scott Nolan sound.
The CD includes eight original songs and a bonus track of Patrick O'Connell reading "Boz and Molly (A Romance)." The accompanying book of lyrics is illustrated with Nolan's visual art — paper collages that mirror the composition technique of the songs.
Award-winning Winnipeg poet Catherine Hunter's engaging introduction explores the connections forged between these two artists and provides insight into their work.
