“Acid folk” was born in an old garage off Clinton Avenue in Toronto,
concocted by Tom Wilson from Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, a few Cowboy
Junkies, and some Skydiggers.
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 super-group Blackie and
the Rodeo Kings, who have just released a compilation of some of their
most loved songs entitled “Swingin’ from The Chains of Love” on True
North Records. 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 CD will be
released on Latent Records in 2009, and 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"....
