"The dragon is an age-old symbol of the highest spiritual essence, embodying wisdom, strength and the divine power of transformation."

John York – a name that triggers memories for music buffs because of his stint in one of the greatest and most influential bands of rock history, The Byrds. Far from being just a footnote in music history, John is still active today and is highly respected as a major force in the local music scene of Claremont, California. With CLAREMONT DRAGON, Taxim Records is very pleased to exclusively present his first ever solo album. Finally there is aural proof of this man's genius – a record long overdue and a landmark in a long creative career.
