The landmark album "Wide Open" by Kahvas Jute, originally released in 1971, is once again available for devoted fans and new listeners. Widely recognized as a progressive rock milestone and a consummate example of underground psychedelic hard rock, "Wide Open" showcases the trailblazing artistry of the band’s original lineup: Dennis Wilson (guitar, vocals), Tim Gaze (guitar, vocals), Bob Daisley (bass), and Dannie Davidson (drums).

Blending expansive sounds of rock, blues, and jazz, "Wide Open" delivers exceptional twin guitar interplay alongside a powerful and inventive rhythm section. Critics have hailed its “expansive and free-flowing” musical vision and uniquely Australian flavor, placing Kahvas Jute alongside iconic acts like Spectrum, Tamam Shud, and Blackfeather as architects of the Australian progressive rock identity.

The record, produced by Pat Aulton at Festival Studios and released by Infinity Records, continues to captivate collectors and broadcast the band’s signature fierce and soulful jams. Tracks like “Free,” “Odyssey,” and “Parade of Fools” highlight the group’s dynamic range and virtuosic musicianship. Over the years, the album has been reissued and digitally remastered, complemented by rare photos and liner notes for music historians and fans alike.
