Veteran blues harpist and producer Neil Barnes released Hyde And Seek on CD in 2014. The 9 track CD is an all star blues-rock album featuring the cream of the crop of San Francisco Bay Area blues greats including singer Earl Thomas, Lady Bianca (piano, vocals) Rev. Paul Smith (organ), Ron Thompson (guitars) and much more, all backing up Barnes on his wailing harmonica. For the most part, Hyde And Seek is mostly a hard hitting blues rock set but a heartfelt cover of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” (subtitled here as “A Song For Jill”) adds another dimension to the album. There’s just one original here, written by singer Earl Thomas, with the CD mostly featuring tracks penned by Oris Mays, Allen Toussaint and the above mentioned Earl Thomas. Speaking about Hyde And Seek, Barnes explains, “I wanted to move forward with a gospel blues release because these particular songs resonate with me. I can only begin to tell you how excited we are to share Hyde & Seek with the world. This is a unique collaboration of world class musicians.” Music fans take note: Hyde And Seek is one of the coolest blues-rock albums of the decade. www.NeilBarnesMusic.com
