Barney Bentall is loved globally for his band the Legendary Hearts, that over ten years in the 80s and 90s had more than nine hit singles, won Juno Awards and achieved platinum status for multiple albums. He went on to release acclaimed albums as a solo artist, and more lately has been a part of the bluegrass-influenced folk band The High Bar Gang. This 11-track album ranges from acoustic Americana to traditional Folk and features the highlights of Adrian Dolan's piano on the title track and duets with special guests Ruth Moody and Valentino Trapani. All original new songs aside from the covers "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" (Bob Dylan) and "Shadows" (Gordon Lightfoot), the album is infused with hope with lyrics that focus on love, longing and loss.

Recorded in 1972 at the legendary Landsdowne Studios in London, Cosmic Eye is an extraordinary piece of recorded music. Led by Indian born guitarist Amancio D’Silva, Cosmic Eye was a highly innovative studio experiment in which ‘Jazz Meets World’.

Cosmic Dealer was formed in 1968, and were one of the most gifted bands, among the rich psychedelic scene in the Netherlands. Their only album, Crystallization, is considered to be an underground classic with copies changing hands among collectors for huge sums. Containing powerful heavy rock along with softer acoustic sections and some sublime three-part harmonies, the album is reminiscent of the Pretty Things Parachute. Highlights include the magnificent Child Of The Golden Sun, the West Coast-flavored If There Is Nothing Behind The Hills and the mesmeric title track, which demonstrates that psychedelic rock was still very much alive and well in the Netherlands in 1971.

This fabulous combo which hails from just north of Seattle, Washington has a groovy surf a go-go sound fueled by twangy guitar and vintage organ, backed by an unrelenting rhythm section. The result is a sound that is influenced by the early 60's surf sound, but comes off more in the category of bands that sound like The Tiki Tones, The Huntington Cads and Stereophonic Space Sounds Unlimited. It's tinged by a bit of a sci-fi influence as well. Great stuff! 15 original songs.
