Harrison Kennedy – Hypnotic Music

Vinyl 12"

Originally released in 1972 on Invictus Records, Hypnotic Music is the remarkable debut solo album from Harrison Kennedy, the former lead singer of soul legends Chairmen of the Board. Raised in Ontario, Canada, before relocating to Detroit, Kennedy embarked on a solo career in the early 1970s, showcasing a distinctive musical style that blended folk, funk, rock and soul into a truly unique sound.

Long sought after by collectors, Hypnotic Music features an inspired mix of socially conscious songwriting, psychedelic textures and infectious grooves. Highlights include a compelling rock-influenced interpretation of The Beatles' classic, the thought-provoking You Hurt Your Mother Again, and the atmospheric Night Comes Day Goes, each demonstrating Kennedy's exceptional talents as a singer, songwriter and musician.

Kennedy has continued to enjoy a distinguished career, earning the 2016 Juno Award for Blues Album of the Year and remaining a highly respected figure in North American roots and blues music. Reissued on vinyl for the first time, this edition of Hypnotic Music is pressed on 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl and faithfully reproduces the original artwork, complete with a printed inner sleeve.
