Millard and Dyce was a folk-rock band formed in the 1970's and based in Baltimore. They toured on the east coast for several years and recorded one album. The album has since become a rare collector's item, recently selling for as much as $449.
It's a custom pressing on the Century - Kaymar label by this Maryland trio. On a whole it’s a modest album, highly influenced by the likes of Tim Hardin though with a mix of electric and acoustic guitars of the folk blues nature. As with most private vanity pressings little effort went into the production and engineering, leaving a weakness in both the vocals and the instrumentation, though as of late folks are embracing this sound and calling it earthy.
It’s a strange album for sure, especially lacking a drummer, two guitars and a bass, with all three members singing lead at one point or another, laced with smooth soft though hardly compelling harmonies.
