"Open Road" was first put together by a guy known as Donovan (Donovan Philips Leitch) in 1970 for his solo album "Open Road". Initially, only Mike O'Neil (keyboards), Mike Thomson (bass guitar) and John Carr (drums) entered the group with him. After Donovan parted ways with these musicians to continue his fairly successful solo career, the band added Barry Husband (guitar, vocals) and Simon Lanzon (keyboards) to their ranks. "Windy Daze" was the band's only album with this lineup. The LP was produced by the legendary Tony Reeves (ex- “Colosseum”). After releasing another single (“Swamp Fever/Lost And Found”) in 1972, the band disbanded the same year.
