Description

Despite his failing health, ARIA Hall Of Fame recipient Max Merritt still managed to find the energy to turn to his song writing best and, with the support of his close mate, Grammy-nominated sound man James ‘Jimbo’ Barton, Max was able to record the pick of the new material.

On every track from the new “I Can Dream” album, Max Merritt delivers his signature powerful vocal ability that totally belies his frail condition.

The CD album is a collection of 10 songs some of which can be traced back to 2002. This is when Max recorded three tracks at Metropolis in Melbourne in that year for what was to be a new album. However, he fell ill and the recordings were discontinued.

Producer James ‘Jimbo’ Barton worked with Max in the last years of his life on new music between 2014 and 2020.  Two songs were recorded at Colin Hay’s California Studio in 2018. Hay in fact co-wrote the track, Sunbury, for this album

Max sadly passed away in Los Angeles on September 24, 2020, but he was well aware of his impending induction into The New Zealand Music Hall Of Fame and was incredibly thrilled and humbled by the honour. He was also hanging out to see this album released and his family have given their blessing to the release of these recordings.
