This is Eddy Dyer's third solo effort, following 2001's Butterfly Medicine, a multi-instrumental mess of acoustic psychadelia (check some of it out at http://www.thatpromising.com/mp3s.html) and 1999's "Explosion Alone", a solo acoustic debut in the vein of "early Bowie, T. Rex and Syd Barret...where the mundane and the mythic careen, collide and explode, this cd could be the fallout" (-Chris Ware). Produced by Jeff Hall at After Midnight Studios www.smokinmoon.com, "Eddy Dyer and the Walking Shoe Revival" sees Eddy recruiting other musicians (a first) for his first electric album...Eddy's work has always differed starkly from disc to disc, and this venture is no exception. In fact, it listens more like a compilation of a recording artist in different phases of his development than a "new" album...from the simmering, colossal funk of "Running From The Rumble" (eerily enough written on September 11, 2001, hours before the terrible events of that day) to the jeering, snot-nosed politi-punk of "American Mess", to the gratuitous emotion of "Can I Get An Amen" (with a stellar, Chess records-worthy lead vocal by fellow Lowell songstress Jen Kearney www.jenkearney.com), this album has all that and more... Eddy Dyer is from Lowell, Massachusetts and has been playing rock and roll since being sent to the school shrink at age eight for the impact that his John Lennon fixation was having on his schoolwork. He can be heard all over the place...check him out at www.eddydyer.com and then say hi at eddydyer@hotmail.com
