Take My Hand is the ultimate Canadian Private Pressing LP from 1973, west coast folk-rock-psych stylings with sudden tempo shifts from mellow dreamy acoustic with occasional female backing vocals to sudden bursts of electric guitar wailing. The album also has a couple of great downer tracks with sparse arrangements. Highlights include: “A Tale Of Raven” “To Know You” “Three Hour Ride” and “This Time Around”. Canadian Singer-songwriter style music with some psych direction, and a strong and very pleasant West Coast feel. Fans of David Wiffen and Vernon Wray would greatly enjoy.
Re-issued in 2011 on Regenerator Records, fully remastered from the original tapes including 7 previously unreleased bonus tracks. Big thanks to the folks at Regeneration Records for making this rare and collectible album available again. To order David Sinclair Take My Hand visit here:
