Released in 2009, Ian\u2019s third record is musically stripped down relative to his previous record, “Room in the City”. A multi-instrumentalist, Ian chose to play the majority of instruments present on the album with the exception of cello, performed by Adam Press. This slightly more sparse approach allows for the strength of his lyricism and narrative to be highlighted in a more open and sonically freeing way. The album has a notably acoustic feel with elements of folk, blues, Americana and pop interwoven throughout. For those who appreciate, embrace and applaud artistic quality, commitment, drive, and the fruits of a laborious creative process, Ian Foster is reason to take notice.<\/p>\n
