The first album consists of music to be seriously stoned to. Young negro-turned-mystic Bobby is joined by an orchestra and a host of other musicians including Funatics Hugh McCracken for a trip to the local soul-serious opium-den hippie scribblings, here. Sitars and tablas abound in this artifact of an era. Find a paisley cushion, adopt lotus position and contemplate your inner self (or navel fluff!). Produced by Alan Lorber whose other 'in' projects included Ultimate Spinach.
The second album is a double more conceptual piece. The third is a homage to the 19th century painters and was recorded with a full orchestra, sometimes heading into progressive territory, with good electric guitar work, flutes and organ. Still with Lorber, Robert Callender also co-produced the aural documentary album by The Groupies.

Before Callender embarked on a recording career, he was a radio producer for Murray the K at New York station WINS. Compilation appearances have included: I'm Just High On Life on Journey To A Higher Key Vol. 1 (LP).
