THE TAO OF TIME (Pronounced DOW)

The Tao of Time is an old fashioned concept album.  Think Dark Side of the Moon, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, In the Wee Small Hours (Frank Sinatra), Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads, Tommy, or The Wall.  Actually, this doesn't sound like any of those albums but there are themes that run from the beginning to the last little bit of waves at the end.  It is a journey not just of a drummer, but is a journey of time in it's many incarnations; the universe, humanity, history and earth.  It is a sea journey too - the sea of time ~ as you will see when you hear it unfold.  And of course it is the journey of a drummer, in search for the right time and sound for this time - the most important time of all - Now!  Thank you all for believing in me and your fan support. Take the journey with me.  " I will always be awake at the helm"!  Captain Time

REVIEWS for The Tao of Time  

"It's brilliant man (The Tao of Time) I love several of the tracks; Drum Language and Slang a lang immediately comes to mind. The first is just flat out awesome and the second calls to mind the interplay between spoken word and free jazz, ala the Art Ensemble of Chicago...I love the mash of historic recordings that's become a meditation on violence... Nice!" Thomasi McDonald,  News and Observer

"A concept album as diverse and unexpected as his wide-ranging musical influences...Roberts carves out a path entirely his own..." JAZZCHILL 

"...great credit for taking the kind of chances for which I've derided others for avoiding. The Tao of Time is an interesting concept album, the likes of which are seldom made any more." OFF-CENTER VIEWS  (Scroll Down)

"A listen where each tune is an adventure in itself... plenty of cultural experimentalism.... An enlightening effort....  TAKE EFFECT

We tend to think of roads as the way to get from where we are to where we're going, but a road can also tell you a great deal about where you're coming from. The three members of Craicdown–Rob Sharer, David DiGiuseppe, and Jim Roberts–have each traveled down different paths to get to where they are today; the result is a melange of styles and influences that join together to take the listener on an unforgettable journey into territory that is as at once familiar and excitingly fresh. The diversity of these three musicians' individual experiences contributes to the richness found in the music of Craicdown, drawing as it does from many different wellsprings of tradition found all over the world, but there's a refreshing newness to the original compositions and songs they play that comes straight from the crucible of creativity that is Craicdown.
