Album Notes

Take a great melody and combine it with hard rock riffs and driving rhythm.

The result is an aural assault that brings to mind the likes of Queen and Led Zeppelin with the contemporary sounds of bands like Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead. (VERY powerful. Must hear...)

As a songwriter and performer, Johnny Hyde's talent remains among the most celebrated in the southeast. A creative producer as well as musician, Johnny Hyde is consistently pushing the envelope of rock.

Although Hyde has experimented with instruments ranging from keyboards and samplers to cellos and violins, the core idea of a Johnny Hyde song has been simple (see the magic formula, above). Hyde remains, more than anything, a songwriter.

After catching the eye of Steven Hutton, the manager responsible for the rise of Kid Rock, Johnny Hyde signed a management deal with Hutton's Uppercut Management. Following his signing with Hutton, Hyde landed a major publishing deal with one of the world's premier publishing companies, Warner Chappell.

His second release, "Here Comes the Breakdown" continues to impress critics and audiences alike. The album also features tracks produced by Rick Parashar (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Blind Melon).
