Raised in Toronto, Ontario, Tony Kosinec really began his professional musical career in the United States. In places like New York, he landed spots opening for popular acts at the time like Blood, Sweat & Tears. Those early gigs in the '60s gave Kosinec the chance to learn his craft, and to begin to build a fan base of his own. He had some success with his debut album, and with the sophomore, Bad Girl Songs, released in 1970. His third album, Consider the Heart, brought him his first big triumph with the hit single "All Things Come From God."

Although a number of recordings followed through the '70s and into the '80s, Kosinec also found other outlets for his creative energy, doing some acting now and then, and spending a lot of time writing jingles, even the theme song for the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team.

A number of his albums would be reissued in the late 90s, but Kosinec also began work on some new songs for an album, as well as pulling together some old songs for what he hoped to be a "best-of" collection.

Tony's singing and composition is amazing on this release. Sounding like a lost member of the Beach Boys who found his home in Folk Rock, I'm happy to bring you the opening tracks of his third album. Enjoy
