...I would like to speak to you about Rick Wakeman, the famous keyboard player of your country (i'm french !)
Little story of RW
The little Rick learns the piano in five years because his father is one very big soloist ! Years pass and the young man plays in the english group "YES" with the very good singer Jon Anderson !
Wakeman amazes everybody and all the criticisms. He decides to steal his own wings and composes for him.
In 1971, RW takes out his first album, alone in piano ! Three years after "Journey to the center of the earth" from Jules Verne. It's a world success ! Now, nobody can't stop him !
He composes more 50 albums in 20 years (studio, live and best of !)
But, EMI, the famous english société ask to Rick to compose a suite (25 years after !) and gives him all the means necessaire for there !
Return to the Center...

into the fire Review ofInto The Fire - Bryan Adamsby
juliebushnell
Advantages: all of it Disadvantages: none
...In terms of commercial success this is not one of Bryan Adam's better albums. The follow-up to the Reckless album was always going to be virtually impossible. However, in terms of memorable songs I think this is an excellent album and contains some even better songs than on Reckless. Probably not as catchy on the first listen but songs such as "Native Son", "Rebel", and "Remembrance Day" just grow on you the more you listen. The rest of the album contains some fine guitar work and it?s the final chance to hear the remarkable song writing combination of Adams and Jim Vallance. Simply a MUST purchase for any Bryan Adams fan....
