Images of Life is the career-spanning, 3xLP retrospective boxset illuminating the staggering breadth and depth of Detroit's unheralded songwriting genius, Ted Lucas. Disc one "Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970)" highlights Ted's flirtation with psychedelic major label clout via his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards and the Horny Toads. "Rainy Days (1970-1974)" will
be the solo acoustic warmth and charm most familiar to folks already aware of Ted's selftitled "OM" album from 1975. "Impossible Love (1979)" the lost second Album finds Ted smooth and nearly "yacht rock" while never
betraying the true artistry and craft of the once-in-a-generation talent of Ted Lucas.
