Rivest, Jacques Tom

Jacques Tom Rivest

Rivest was the leader of the group Pollen and this first solo album finds most of Pollen helping out, only with a different bassist (and the original drummer of Pollen incidentally). The tracks are less obviously prog, and at times are more folky or more rock. However "Mego" Lemay is still in fine form on keys and his playing highlights four or five different tracks. So if you are hoping for something exactly like Pollen, this isn't it. But this is in essence the second Pollen album, it merely reflects the time it was released (1979) as the band tries to remain current while still having some fine progressive moments. A non album single is included as a bonus track.
