Tension: The state or degree of being stretched, mental or emotional strain; stress. A situation or condition of hostility, suspense, or uneasiness.
The album was recorded in January 2025 at Sam Phillips Recording Services in Memphis, while Ross was representing Saskatchewan at the International Blues Challenge, where he, once again, reached the semi-finals.
Produced by Ross Neilsen, Kevin Houston, and John C. Stubblefield, the ten-track album blends high-octane blues-rock with raw emotional storytelling. It features contributions from Memphis heavyweights including Rick Steff and John C. Stubblefield of Lucero, Marc Franklin and Art Edmaiston (Gregg Allman Band, Little Feat), and drummer, Jay Sheffield III.
With the exception of one track (Someting Heavy by Eddie Hinton) all songs were written or co-written by Neilsen. The album explores themes of mental health, parenthood, identity, belonging, and isolation.
This project wouldn't exist without the community that backed it: friends, fans, and supporters who helped make it happen through grassroots fundraising and belief in the music.
