It's happening. It's finally happening. After 11 months and several major surgeries, McCann's baby is ready to be born. The long awaited "Lullabies for Bloodshot Eyes" will hit the streets (and iTunes) on february 23rd 2010, the same week the lads go for gold at the Vancouver Olympics. www.greatbigsean.com will be launched today (with songs to hear) and completed after the holidays.The road was long and rough but reaching the end is its own reward. Closure.

The evil genius that is Hawksley Workman had a profound effect on McCann during the construction of Fortune's Favour. He lit a candle under his slack songwriter's arse and, for better or worse, he's been farting out soliloquies ever since. Scarred by the collaborative ordeal, Workman has vowed never to play again and spends his time in Nunavut knitting sweaters.

These Lullabies are a direct response to the many monumental changes through which our protagonist evolved over the past 4 years, not least of which being the birth of his two boys (Thing 1 and Thing 2) and the subsequent abandonment of his former best friend (your humble hydrant obsessed servant). But I harbour no resentment. No ill will. McCann may be an inconsiderate self obsessed bastard, but he's my bastard.....and I know "Peace Among the Bones" is really all about me.

and you.
