After almost ten years as a band and four albums to its credit, Cuff the Duke has made … a concept record. The Toronto roots rockers wouldn’t call it that (there are no suites about dragons here), but there it is, ten tracks on a theme that flow like a film, like a good book, one filled with emotional highs and lows, plot twists, and universal truths. MORNING COMES is a story about change, about confronting loss, about – as one track calls it -- “Standing on the Edge” and having the courage to look across to an unknown future on the other side.
“I think it’s about reaching that point in your life when you’re not exactly young anymore but you’re certainly not old,” says vocalist Wayne Petti. “Over the last couple of years I’ve had friends and family who passed away and you realize that there is a lot of this happening now, losing people. I felt I needed to address this emotion that happens to everybody, …when you get off track and you need to rebound from it.”
