A Welcome Retrospective

Writing is a means of digesting one's past -- and that's exactly what Sean Hutchinson did in this rollicking account of his experiences in a sixties rock band. Crying Out Loud captures the self indulgent mood of the psychedelic sixties: earnest, but warped idealism mixed in with inevitable hedonistic pursuits. He does not shy away from taking a critical look at the massive hype that accompanied the scene -- the self destructive tendencies, and the unabashed desire to be cool, hip, artsy. Yet, he exults in the idea of being in a traveling band, playing a colorful array of gigs, and meeting people from all walks of life. Sean Hutchinson stayed true to himself, remaining the astute observer, while the world spun wildly around him.
