Jon Anderson + Rick Wakeman - The Living Tree

Artist: Jon Anderson + Rick Wakeman
P: 2010
2010 studio album from two former members of Prog Rock legends Yes: vocalist Jon Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakemen. The songs are beautiful and moving. You will want to listen to this again and again. It seems to have a healing power. Reminiscent of Jon's work with Vangelis and his solo album, "Change We Must".

Rick Wakeman - Access all Areas  (DVD + CD)

Artist: Rick Wakeman
P: 2015
Deluxe two disc (CD + PAL/Region 2 DVD) live release. The concert was originally recorded for broadcast on ITV and released here for the first time. The high quality recording has been remastered and are featured both on a DVD and audio CD alongside extended notes, new interviews, imagery and memorabilia. Keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman has enjoyed at least three careers - early-Seventies sessionman, the Caped Crusader of progressive giants Yes and solo star responsible for such epic albums as The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table. He's also written books and become a well-known small-screen personality. This DVD and CD package of a 1990 broadcast in the Bedrock TV series combines many of these facets, featuring titles from all his biggest solo sellers in a virtuoso performance. Backed by Tony Fernandez (drums) and David Paton (bass), Rick gives his nine-keyboard rig the ultimate workout and clearly enjoys himself: 'It was good fun at the time. Says it all, really!' he says on his website. A must for prog, keyboard and Wakeman fans alike.
