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

Eclectic as they come!
author: Ritchie Victorino, Hippo Press
Eddy Dyer and the Walking Shoe Revival showcases Dyer's ability to go beyond the man-and-his-guitar world, and marry his solo sound with a full band. The Lowell-based Dyer is a natural musician whose taste and sound are as eclectic as they come....He has folk, rock, hip-hop, punk, psychedelic ’60s rock and more at his arsenal....Dyer’s music covers the emotional spectrum of life.

Eddy is one of the most amazing artists I have ever had the pleasure of performing with. A prolific and engaging songwriter juxtaposing social commentary and abstract idealism.
