The Great Lakes is an album by Emm Gryner, “written, recorded, mixed, printed, hand-stamped, stapled, embossed, cut, burned and packaged especially for you by me [Emm]”.
A creative companion to Gryner's "The Great Lakes Living Room Tour", the album was only available via pre-order directly from Dead Daisy Records, and did not appear in retail outlets. Each CD booklet is numbered in a limited sequence. Along with the disc itself, a purchaser also received a hand-written thank-you note from Gryner on her personal letterhead.
The songs on the album do not represent a musical departure from Gryner's other work, in spite of the more unusual album creation and distribution process.
