Review:
The album, titled A Tribute to Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, features renditions of a variety of popular ELP tunes, as well as a cover of King Crimson‘s “21st Century Schizoid Man” – a song co-written and originally sung by Lake. Among the many well-known musicians contributing to the record are Todd Rundgren, Yes/Asia keyboardist Geoff Downes, Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro, ex-Yes and Moody Blues keyboardist Patrick Moraz, current Yes singer Jon Davison, Yes/Asia bassist Billy Sherwood, founding and current Dream Theater keyboardists Derek Sherinian and Jordan Rudess, ex-E Street Band keyboardist David Sancious and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown singer Arthur Brown. The album also includes a version of Aaron Copeland‘s “Fanfare for the Common Man” featuring Emerson’s son Aaron and grandson Ethan.
“The music these guys created is timeless, and is there for future generations to discover,” says Sherwood, who produced the album. “I’m honored to be a part of this project which displays an amazing collection of songs as well as artists contributing to the record.”
He adds, “I think fans of the original will appreciate the attention to detail, love and care that went into the production of this project.”
