Ian Thomas – How We Roll

“This album is a reflection on life and relationships. It seems that in this day and age, one of the greatest realizations is how much we need each other. We are communal beings by nature. The metaphors in nature are so remarkable. Can we emulate them and achieve a better way of living together on this fragile blue jewel in the emptiness of the universe? The title track, How We Roll, asks the question: Is this the best we can do? It’s wonderful that after all these albums, which began with my first hit in 1973, I still have awe for the creative process and the magic of the sonic canvas of recording. Immersive sound allows me to inhabit the songs, to live in the thoughts, emotions, and cadences in the soundscape around me.” – Ian Thomas
