Justen O'Brien & Jake - Time Will Tell 1978

Ignored at the time of its release in 1978, the word is now finally out on the Time Will Tell album by Justen O'Brien & Jake. In recent years it's appeared on the want lists of serious collectors, and even playlists of some underground radio stations in the U.S. Maybe they're onto something? Well, if U.S. West Coast-style rock with a tinge of psychedelic is to your liking, look no further.

Comparisons have been made to Bob Smith, Michael Angelo, and Dr. Hooker, but you can dig deeper than that. There are certainly Arthur Lee's vocal stylings in there, and some of the rhythms of the music recall Love's Forever Changes period. On other tracks, there is the haunting quality of H.P. Lovecraft, but this is no homage to the past: the sound of Time Will Tell is very much it's own.
