Expanded 180-gram double LP in a gatefold jacket with bonus tracks

Plus exclusive vinyl-only track "Little Mustang"

Remastered from the original tapes

Available on vinyl for the first time since 1989

Lanois started his production career when he was 17, working in his own studio with his brother Bob Lanois in the basement of their mother's Ancaster, Ontario home, recording local artists. Within ten years his production talents saw him working with Brian Eno (Ambient 4), and onto classic albums by U2 (The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree), Peter Gabriel (Birdy, So) and Bob Dylan (Oh Mercy). Inspired by a move from Canada to New Orleans, and sublime recording sessions with the Neville Brothers (Yellow Moon) and Dylan, Daniel's debut album as a recording artist was released in 1989.

Acadie is a stunning blend of styles, fusing Cajun, rhythm and blues, rock and new age ambience, taking influence from many of Lanois' recent production works. Most noticeably among those are Peter Gabriel's So and Robbie Robertson, but also the Neville Brothers and U2, members of whom appear in the stellar line up of musicians here.

This deluxe redesigned reissue includes the classic album and seven unreleased gems from the vault. Remastered from the original tapes. A new expanded sleeve design featuring exclusive photographs, artwork, and all of the lyrics along with annotations by Daniel.
