Hyde "Hyde" 1969 Toronto Psych Rock Highly influenced by Bob Dylan. Features Canadian Psych legends Rockadrome as the backing band.
In a drawing, delving manner does he cross the borders of his place and let some of his soul be known. The rise and fall of his pulsing rhythms and trying words bring to the foreground almost-forgotten or not-yet-found insights. Don't skip lightly over the images and parallels of this offering. Let your consciousness catch itself in Hyde's stream. Its a cool brook compared to the murky esoterics of others. Toronto's stature as a breeding place of Free Music is increased even, more with this chance to try on Hyde's speed for the learning. His songs leave the ordinary, trite conformities of many of his peers. The mystique of introspection, The fires of passion, and all the nuances in between are explored by Hyde in his work. This is an artist of dedication with the scars to prove it. Think about your own dreams and what you're on to as you listen (and maybe hear) Hyde. If you've put half as much of yourself into your thing as Hyde has his, you deserve this collection of truths.
