Yakobius ben Yakobius, a living musical instrument, has lived throughout time. In this concept album, Yakobius takes on the Americana form through the body of some petulant fool. Pay no attention to the man holding the guitar! The Birth of Yakobius - takes you through an 8-track cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Beginning with the spiritual chants and feels of the Middle East, inspired by Omar Khayyam, and progressing through time. Presented are the poetic works of maestros Edgar Allan Poe, e.e. cummings, and Walt Whitman.
