Livgren departed Kansas in 1983, he was leaving behind one of the most successful and influential progressive rock bands in American music history. As the creative force behind such classics as “Carry On Wayward Son” and “Dust in the Wind,” Livgren had already established himself as a songwriter capable of combining technical musical sophistication with powerful melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. But his musical journey was far from finished.

Recorded with musicians who would become the foundation of AD, including vocalist and keyboardist Michael Gleason, multi-instrumentalist Warren Ham, former Kansas bassist Dave Hope, and drummer Dennis Holt, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTime Line\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was much more than a conventional solo recording.

The closing “Welcome to the War” brings the album's themes of conflict, commitment, and perseverance into focus. Throughout the record, Livgren's signature guitar work, inventive keyboards, unusual rhythmic ideas, and ambitious song structures remain unmistakable.
