JIM ROBERTS/Tao of Time: If there was more hippie in Jim Webb than a fondness for weed, this might be what he would have turned out instead of "Highwayman". Fashioning his work as viewed through a sailor of time and tide, this drummer drums up a wild ride inspired by a project that brings Nobel laureates to the schools. Relying more on prog lyrical conceits than bombastic chops, I guess you could call it thinking man's prog. Quite the wild trip regardless, this is a solid trip down the rabbit hole for left leaning tastes. In addition to all that, Bekka Bramlett, Jim Hoke and Victor Wooten are hiding out in the grooves.
