Speak To Me was produced by Joe Henry and offers a series of dispatches from Lage's ongoing search for narrative beyond words.

Observations In Time appeared in January 1969, containing a number of Ohio Players originals including “Here Today And Gone Tomorrow,” which David Bowie would make part of his Diamond Dogs tour and release it on 1974's David Live.
