Justin Rutledge - Valleyheart 10th Anniversary Reissue

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Valleyheart with this special edition "Whitecap" vinyl reissue. 

On Valleyheart, Justin returns to his roots with a stately collection of spacious
songs featuring Rutledge’s trademark poetic lyrics. “I wanted to write songs
the way I look at old photographs,” the singer says. “Valleyheart is, at the
core, an album about translating memory.”

Valleyheart was recorded in Toronto with Rutledge’s veteran backing band,
featuring his best friend Bazil Donovan (Blue Rodeo) on bass, and mixed in
Los Angeles by Dan Burns (Taylor Swift, Puscifer, Chuck Prophet). Rutledge
had increasingly been spending more time in California, writing and
recording with his band, Early Winters. “Travel is a major theme on
Valleyheart,” says Rutledge. “It is perhaps my most ‘Canadian’ album to
date, even though it is heavily influenced by California.
