Well.

In 2002 I wrote a review of Paul Hyde's Big Book of Sad Songs, Vol. 1. I liked that album, in fact it made the top 10 of my top 19 for the year. It seems now that I am not alone in touting Mr. Hyde's songwriting prowess.

For actor, friend to the common man, master and commander Russell Crowe has chosen to record a song from the album for his forthcoming solo debut. I don't know Hyde, but I've got to think this is a pride he will carry with him the rest of his life.
