Something a Little Different – CD

Scroll down for track listening samples.

Jamie Penner’s seventh multi-track release, Something a Little Different, lives up to its name with a dynamic blend of styles and moods across 11 captivating tracks.

Opening with a powerful tribute to Canadian rock history, the album kicks off with a high-energy cover of Prism’s iconic Spaceship Superstar. From there, Penner takes you on a diverse sonic journey—from guitar- and synth-driven road trip anthems to a prog rock voyage layered with atmospheric textures and intricate melodies. The mood shifts again with Walking in the Mist, a jazzy, blues-tinged tune that evokes the laid-back vibe of a cozy coffeehouse.

Ten of the tracks are written by Penner himself, showcasing his range as a songwriter and musician. Two standout tracks, I Don’t Care and Here I Go Again, feature the soulful, gritty vocals of rising rock-blues talent James Vickers, adding even more depth to this genre-spanning album.

Whether you’re cruising down the highway, unwinding after a long day, or discovering something new, Something a Little Different delivers a rich listening experience that hits all the right notes.
