"The Rising Sun-Born To Be Wild-1969 Canada":
"Totally unknown Toronto outfit The Rising Sun and their sole recorded effort, Born To Be Wild, with its fabulously-cheesy cover, duly appeared on Birchmount Records in 1969.
Psychedelics meets funk, some very inspired fuzzy cover tracks, like Hendrix (Fire), Steppenwolf (Born To Be Wild) and some pure joyful soul/funk ala Sly and the Family Stone.
Many of the tracks on this album are self-penned and most of them are pretty good."
This is The Rising Sun's sole recorded effort, Born To Be Wild, with its fabulously-cheesy cover, duly appeared on Birchmount (Birchmount 515) in 1969. Although the band chose a covered track as the album?s title, many of the dozen tracks on this album are self-penned and most of them are pretty good, and the band covers Steppenwolf?s opus major effortlessly, but the garage-punk vibe of the first side of the record gives way to a more jazzy sound a la Blood Sweat And Tears on side 2 with plenty of horns in evidence.
Could David Clayton Thomas, himself a Toronto resident at the time, have played a part in the proceedings?
The only thing we know for sure it that this rare album is becoming increasingly sought-after by collectors.
