"Stairway To Heaven" performed by Rick Wakeman on a spiritually-themed covers album.

I don't know whether to be ecstatic or ludicrous about this.

Sounds like a must buy.

Rick does the piano parts of "Morning Has Broken" so maybe this stuff is similar?

This should be listed as YUCCA. Good lord, the cover screams "luagh at me". Rick is a genius, and has a wicked sense of humor, but this looks like the joke is on him. I suppose Zamfir, master of the pan flute was unavailable for a duet.

Zamfir's probably working with Jon Anderson.

I agree that Rick's a genius, but I'd rather hear him fronting a band. And doing original material. I know we can't expect The Six Wives Of Henry XIII Part II, but I would expect more than this.

I always liked his English Rock Ensemble on lps like No Earthly Connection.

That was corny, but good stuff. Rick needs to take a look at that album cover and ask "How did I get here?"
