Quicksilver Messenger Service began as Grateful Dead-like psychedelic warriors full of improvisational bravado. By the time of WHAT ABOUT ME, they had become a much more song-oriented outfit, fronted by Dino Valente, who crooned the title tune`s semi-protest message (which garnered the band a healthy amount of airplay) along with tracks that mixed psychedelic rock, folk, blues, and jazz influences. This would be founding guitarist John Cippolina`s last album of the band`s initial run, marking the end of an era.
