Hell of a Girl began in 2012 in Terra Hazelton’s apartment with just a microphone, a guitar and a rain storm. Hazelton started inviting some of her friends and collaborators from her various bands. Musicians like Drew Jurecka, Sly Juhas, Nathan Hiltz, and the entire Juno-award winning line-up from The Hogtown Syncopators. Hazelton invited each of them because of specific skills she thought would add to each of Jeff’s original tracks. In true Loose Moose fashion, the musicians were encouraged to improvise.
The collaborative nature of Hell of a Girl continued, as Neil MacIntosh mixed the tracks adding additional percussion, and finally Jordon O’Connor (engineer behind That’s All) mastered the final recordings with Hazelton.
The album was released on April 19th, 2014 at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver as a three-act cowboy-noir-opera.
