This is his first release since his 2007 studio album ‘Wander Songs’, both albums are reminiscent of each other, excluding the large number of musical instruments that have been introduced on this recent release ‘It Takes All kinds…’. This album is a nice mix of slow, reflective, somber songs as well as a few upbeat compositions to lighten the mood. He’s thought provoking, upsetting, and uplifting with his perfected lyrics which he pairs with a folk-rock style and beautiful musical arrangements of strings, pianos, drums, etc…

Pink Floyd, Supertramp, and King Crimson all permeate the melodies, rhythms, licks, and grooves on Jim Fidler’s newest “concept” album.
Fictitious character, Mickey Finn travels on the quintessential journey; dreamin’ the dream, living it and back to slumber to dream again. And music as the penultimate metaphor – vehicle for life is indeed about the journey and not the destination.
Truly a musical – chameleon, Fidler constantly explores every nook and crannie of his far-reaching muse. In fact, it’s accurate to state that everything he has produced since his brilliant 1995 debut has been amazing. Whether repeated themes and influences (ie. Bob Marley) or far out ideas Fidler always brings vitality to his work.
Good Artists Borrow, Great Artists (ie. Dylan, Clapton, Zeppelin) Steal.
This is and shall remain a “Classic Album”
