Mohawk

When Tom Wilson created the moniker Lee Harvey Osmond he wasn't entirely certain if this was a new stage name or merely a provocative handle for the musician/artist collective assembled by producer Michael Timmins to record a collection of Tom Wilson songs that would become A Quiet Evil. This was the first of four albums bearing the featured artist Lee Harvey Osmond. The Folk Sinner was next, followed by the break through Beautiful Scars. It was during this time between releasing Beautiful Scars and recording Kings and Kings with Blackie and The Rodeo Kings that Wilson went public with his recent discovery. He was not exactly the person he thought he was. Wilson continues down the path of his "long way home, "Wilson says. "It is my way of showing honour and respect to a culture that I'm just shaking hands with. My truth was hidden from me - I was born a Mohawk baby, and finally I'm becoming a Mohawk man," a line he sings on the LP's first single, "Mohawk"
