Peter Jones Just hearing the title track was enough to capture my interest. Jazz-influenced and progressive, great-sounding tracks with a fair amount of straight-up rock, too. Favorite track: Real Roses.

distant planet Excellent and melodic prog rock with some added countryfied mysticism. Some interesting jazzy guitar chords (almost Joni Mitchell in places) mixed with powerful rock riffs. Jack is a superb musician and his vocals are superb too - vaguely reminds me of Kevin Gilbert at times...The production is great too, aided by Mr Robert Berry no less. Jack has also worked with Trent Gardner of Magellan in the past..
These songs were originally intended for a rock opera that didn't eventually happen... Favorite track: Guinevere's Dead.

SAGA music by Jack Foster III some lyrics from the graphic novel "Saga, volume one"  ©2012 Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples additional lyrics by Jack Foster III ©2014 Muse-Wrapped Records Survival! Survival! Survival! Go ask the gods. Go ask the gods. This is the way an idea becomes real the void is transcended, 'n' the numb starts to feel most move along slowly, without a real plan uncertain if even the product of man and ideas are fragile things and there are no guarantees What are the odds? Go ask the gods. most don't survive long outside of the ether from which they were pulled, kicking and screaming pink and unformed, they take getting used to and ya can't get untangled once they take roost and ideas are fragile things and there are no guarantees no there are no guarantees no there are no guarantees of survival, ... survival That's why we reach for connections we've lost two minds can sometimes improve the odds two people in love can challenge the odds of survival. survival. survival of an idea. This is the day you our daughter was born an idea made real in your small perfect form a vibrant fragile thing just a magic drifting dream but there are no guarantees . . . there are no guarantees . . . What are the odds? Go ask the gods; go ask 'em. Survival . . . of an idea.

Blue Grass 04:21
singing through a lifetime summer soft and blue grass sunrise on the meadow where we roam tripping through a lifetime falling down in blue grass sundown on the meadow head on home Insider her whisper that slipped through the keyhole rinsed in sunshine she’s there how it started that harmless melody she laughs and carves the air fold the passion in curious weather tapping her footsteps to the tune absorb the wonder the hummingbird hovers then flies away too soon singing through a lifetime summer soft and blue grass sunrise on the meadow where we roam tripping through a lifetime falling down in blue grass sundown on the meadow head on home sooner or later the picture he gave her becomes a part of the tune she dreams in colors that fill him with wonder then flies away and bloom changing of the season her shine upon his face sometimes makes it hard to play it blue tall grass in the summer dancing in the wind the blue horizon gives the softness from the clouds takes the paleness from the moon tripping through a lifetime falling down in blue grass sundown on the meadow head on home singing through a lifetime summer soft and blue grass sunrise on the meadow where we roam tripping through a lifetime falling down in blue grass sundown on the meadow head on home . . .
