Information/Write-up
Nowhere in the world is the big new boom in music making itself felt as it is in Canada . . . and the reasons are obvious. Canada, like its music is "arriving" on the international scene. Vancouver,
Montreal, Winnipeg . . . Toronto.
Toronto . . . two million people . . . cosmopolitan . . . bright . . . with it . . . swingin’. The “now” generation has paraphrased “Toronto the good.” They have made it “Toronto the groovy.” ... a dynamic vibrant centre for the switched-on new culture. From the Henry Moore at their city hall to the new dimension in experience called Yorkville. Yorkville Village makes Toronto unique. You can talk about Greenwich Village in New York or the Left Bank in Paris or Carnaby Street in London. And yet Yorkville makes itds own way. The shops, boutiques, galleries and clubs of Yorkville did not exist ten years ago. Yorkville Village just “grew”. Building on and of itself and expanding from within. Yorkville by day ... the busy fashion and new culture headquarters for the turned-on affluent middle class. By night ... the young and the cool ease their way through the clubs and espresso houses or in their studied casual way, lazily move along Yorkville Street and up Avenue Road. Yorkville Village is Mecca to a whole generation of hippies and teenyboppers. Theirs is the world of the Sixties ... its modes ... morals and music.
MUSIC ... pulsating ... provocative and electronic. Folk, rock, blues .... in varying combinations. And it’s all here. The artists in this album have become Canada’s biggest stars ... and are still growing in popularity. DAVID CLAYTON THOMAS is certainly no stranger ... consistent hitmaker ... born blues singer. THE PAUPERS ... Canada’s hottest young stars ... they personify the mood ... the attitude that is Yorkville Village. The well known sound of THE FABULOUS SHAYS whose beat and drive is unmatched anywhere ... acclaimed everywhere.
This album is a tribute to the flourishing vital music industry of Canada. Particularly at this time of our centennial ... a tribute to all the talented aspiring young Canadians who make it happen.
