Review:
Prog Collective, a star-studded prog-rock project spearheaded by Yes bassist/singer Billy Sherwood, release its third studio album, Worlds on Hold. Among the many well-known artists contributing to the album are several Yes members and alums, as well as Todd Rundgren, current Asia/former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, ex-Blood, Sweat & Tears frontman David Clayton-Thomas, former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, ex-Rainbow singers Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner, longtime Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre and ex-Queensryche singer Geoff Tate. The album features a mix of original tunes and covers, including renditions of Peter Gabriel‘s “Solsbury Hill,” Procol Harum‘s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” and The Moody Blues‘ “Nights in White Satin.” The record also includes three bonus cover tunes taken from previously released tribute albums produced by Sherwood — The Beatles‘ “Penny Lane” sung by late Asia and King Crimson singer/bassist John Wetton; Boston‘s “More than a Feeling,” performed by Sherwood, Yes drummer Alan White and founding Yes keyboardist Tony Kaye; and The Doors‘ “People Are Strange,” sung by David Johansen.
