Canadian roots singer-songwriter Erin McCallum has released her new album, Full Spread, a nine-track collection of original songs recorded at Ganaraska Recording Company. The album was co-produced by McCallum and longtime collaborator Teddy Leonard, a Canadian blues guitarist who co-wrote two tracks on the record, “I’m Still Here (For Now)” and “I Need a New Lover.”
The album draws on a mix of styles including R&B, country, New Orleans-inflected grooves, blues, folk and rock, according to the announcement. The closing track is an acoustic reworking of McCallum’s earlier song “Home.” Jimmy Bowskill served as recording engineer and also contributes pedal steel and backing vocals, while Steve Marriner mixed the album and plays bass and harmonica on select tracks. Gary Craig and Steve O’Connor appear as percussionist and keyboardist, and the album was mastered by Philip Shaw Bova.
The single “I Need a New Lover,” released in May 2026, has been picked up by streaming and terrestrial radio outlets in Canada, the UK and Australia, the announcement says.
