The Brazda Brothers

The Brazda Brothers, Andy and Bystrik, were a pair of Slovakian brothers who moved to Canada (Galt, Ontario, to be exact) near the beginning of the 70's. Inspired by a picturesque landscape that reminded them of home, they set to writing and recording enough material for an LP, and in 1973 they went down to RCA Studios in Toronto and knocked off twelve original numbers in an unheard-of six hours. Released in 1974 by Dominion Records, a small Canadian label, their self-titled debut album was pressed in small quantities and received little promotion.

Although the brothers performed on several TV shows and released a single (Walking Into the Sun/20th Century), the album did not sell well and is an extremely rare collector's item these days. Another single (time is only a setting sun/you can take me real high) was released on their own label in 1977, and in 2004 they resurfaced with a CD single (He Walked Away).
