Hawksley Workman Releasing “Old Cheetah” in June
Of late, Hawksley Workman has been up to his eyeballs working with musical cohorts Steve Bays and 
Ryan Dahle on the trio’s ambitious, yet refreshing new band, Mounties. (How their debut album Thrash Rock Legacy is not up for a JUNO this year, is a mystery to us.)
But, despite all of that, Workman has had the time to go solo once again.
On June 2, the lyricist, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist will release Old Cheetah through Six Shooter Records. Old Cheetah will be Workman’s first proper studio album since 2010’s two-part offering Meat and Milk.
“This whole process with these guys has made me fall in love with making music, in a big, big way again,” said Workman in a Mounties-related interview with Riffyou.com in 2014. “It’s not like I ever wasn’t in love with it, but I’m in a long-term relationship with making music. And like in any long-term relationship, you have times where it all makes sense and it’s all great; and there are other times where you’re confused with it, but you’re married to it and that marriage is never going [to end].
“We sit around yacking over wine about being old men and making Mounties records, just because it feels so good,” he continued. “I don’t ever want to not have this in my life. I’m feeling so blessed about it.”
