Clifton Hill (album)

Background and details

After Honeymoon Suite's original lineup (circa 1984) reunited to tour Canada in the summers of 2007 and 2008, they returned to the studio to record a new album with their original producer and current manager, Tom Tremeuth. The first single released to radio was "Tired O' Waitin' on You".

The album title is an homage to the cluster of tourist attractions on Clifton Hill in the band's hometown of Niagara Falls, Ontario. As guitarist Derry Grehan explained in an interview with The Niagara Falls Review: "I think our best record was The Big Prize, and the new songs were kind of sounding like that. Riffy, simple with big choruses. So with Johnnie and I paying homage to our roots, we thought (for a title) ... 'Lundy's Lane?' No. Trying to find a name for a record after the fact is hard. At one point Clifton Hill came up. I thought it had a nice feel for an album title. Easy to remember. I can't explain it, it just kind of works."

The photograph used for the album's cover was taken by Russell Harbottle in 1985.
