You Can't Always Win The Good Loser

The Good Ones announce their fourth album, Rwanda…you see ghosts, I see sky. As with The Good Ones' past three releases, Grammy-winning music producer and author, Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Zomba Prison Project, Ramblin; Jack Elliott), and his wife, Italian Rwandan photographer, and filmmaker, Marilena Umuhoza Delli, recorded The Good Ones' album live and without overdubs on the primary songwriter Adrien Kazigiras' farm the same farm Adrien was born on, the same land where he hid and survived the 1994 genocide.

For The Good Ones’ new album, RWANDA, you should be loved, bandleader Adrien Kazigira composed over forty songs. Most were meditations on his now thirteen-year-old daughter, Marie-Claire, and the life-threatening tumor that has afflicted her left-eye. The recording was done live without overdubs on Adrien’s farm and was imbued with the passing of producer Ian Brennan’s mother during the days that they were there together as well as a former founding band member recently having succumbed to his own demons.
