Hi!

Thanx so much for this one. A real "obscure" Canadian artist. Have it in the collection but worth revisiting. Much appreciated.

Cheers!
Ciao! For now.

Brent Titcomb
1977
3.6/5 RYM

"A friend advised me to seek out this album, an oldie but goodie. The LP is actually called May All Beings Be Happy which is not written anywhere on the album cover but is written on the yellow record label. The title is apt. This is a very eclectic album. It's folk rock but deeper. The first track "Sahajiya (we're born together) sets the tone and the last track on side B "Gnostic Serenade" ends the same tone, it's mystical a journey with the song "Tibetan Bells" being a popular song for BT when he toured. This is a rare bird this album. I could play it all day and all night and all day and would still love it, good luck finding it. Some jaw-harp is played by BT on this album, but that's the least of which is unique and good about it. BT has a deep rich voice and plays acoustic guitar as well.

Older Canadians may know who Brent Titcomb is, he was a member of 3'a Crowd way back when, also wrote lots of songs for people, the guy is 82 years old now and lives in Stratford, Ontario. In 1976, Titcomb became a mainstay performer at Festival of Friends in Hamilton, Ontario. He also appeared at the New Orleans World's Fair and in Mexico in 1984. Titcomb became involved in environmental and human rights causes. He sang before the Dalai Lama during one of the religious leader's rare Toronto visits. He also played at the Jacques Cousteau Festival in Hamilton. He's a mystical dude, would love to sit down and have a conversation with him. So glad I finally scored this album."
