Synopsis

Product Description
Acid Folk' was born in an old garage off Clinton Avenue in Toronto, concocted by Tom Wilson from Blackie & the Rodeo Kings with a few Cowboy Junkies (Margo and Michael Timmons). Allowing bass, hypnotic rhythms and a lot of groove into their songwriting circle, the artist collective LeE HARVeY OsMOND created a sound that would creep out of the Northern woods and across the Great Lakes into the South, the same way The Band did forty years before them. Tom Wilson (guitar and vocals) struck Canadian rock gold in the 90s as the leader of the much loved Junkhouse, and then found a whole new audience as a crucial component of roots-rock supergroup Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. He released solo albums in 2001 and 2006, and his 2005 collaboration with Bob Lanois, The Shack Recordings, was critically acclaimed. A Quiet Evil is the first release by LeE HARVeY OsMOND. The group will tour with the Cowboy Junkies in the U.S. to support the release. Whether as a stripped-down solo show by Tom Wilson, or with a full five-piece band, LeE HARVeY OsMOND will take every audience member along on their 'trip'.

"First cut heard from this record on XM, I reacted: "J.J Cale morphs into a new, fresh generation!!! No question Cale's influence is heavy in Tom Wilson's music. Lee Harvey Osmond is an an A.K.A. for Wilson. This guy isn't just a derivative of Cale's. . .oh, not by a long shot. He's got his own voice, and his own very tight instrumental ensemble - a cross of rock, jazz, blues, and folk. His songs are literate, charged with poetic, talk-singing. The kind of stuff begun by Moses Allison, extended by Dylan, into Tom Waits, etc. His musical predecessors laid the groundwork for a truly fine album. Check this Canadian musical obscurity out!!!! He is the real deal."
