Rick Wakeman - Six Wives Of Henry Viii - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

I personally don't know of a musician that doesn't enjoy doing solos. It is an opportunity to show, (and show off), what you feel within the music and also perhaps to show how you think and play contributes to the overall sound of the band, but the greatest thing about a solo is that it is truly a one-off - solos can never be repeated. They are a musically feeling of that particular moment in time - Rick Wakeman

Rock n' Roll Prophet is a 1982 album by Rick Wakeman. The album was recorded at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland, and was released by Moon Records. The album was re-released in 1991 with four bonus tracks. These tracks were recorded at Wakeman's own Bajanor Studios on the Isle of Man, and were mixed by Stuart Sawney. The re- was mastered at Abbey Road Studios. As well as playing keyboards, Wakeman provided lead vocals for three tracks (InchI'm So Straight I'm a WeirdoInch, InchMaybe '80Inch, and InchDo You Believe in FairiesInch) - the only album on which his singing appears.

This classic recording shows Rick on stage at the legendary Ronnie Scott's jazz club.
