DINO VALENTI Dino Valente (2008 issue UK 12-track digitally remastered CD album - In 1968, following a spell in jail for drug possession, Dino got a deal with Epic Records, recording an album produced by Bob Johnston [Bob Dylan]. It was idiosyncratic even within the psychedelic community. Valente sang elliptical, stream-of-consciousness hippyisms without much in the way of narrative, beginning, or end, but with an evocative lyricism. The accompaniment is mostly stripped down guitarplaying pleasingly haunting minor folk-jazz acoustic chords, swelled by wads of studio reverb.)
