Unforgiving Mistress was originally released in 1999 and will finally get its due with its first vinyl pressing. From songs about morality to the rare Corb Lund love song, Unforgiving Mistress is packed with Corbs classic storytelling and songwriting. This record was my second as the Corb Lund Band and I was still in The Smalls when it was released. It was a major step forward from Modern Pain in terms of songwriting, arrangement and recording quality for me. I hadnt heard this album for years and I was pleasantly surprised at how it holds up. I like how folky it is, says Lund, Its a cool little record, made for about 1200 bucks. It took me right back to my early days, writing the songs in a parking booth in Edmonton that was barely wide enough for my guitar. Things were getting pretty hectic at the time because the smalls were touring quite a bit and I was filling up every spare weekend with country gigs. Im glad I burned the midnight oil and got this thing made.

This limited edition release is part of the Corb Lund – Dark Horses Club. New West Records will be releasing unreleased records and material from Corb Lund throughout 2025 and 2026.
