One of the Magna Carta tributes, for a band that really deserve it. Yes
has been there since the late 60's to inspire musicians that has stepped
forward on the progressive scene of today. Some of them got the chance
to show what Yes has meant to them on this album.
It's always interesting to hear Steve Morse in action, and especially
when he's in the acoustic mood. As I see it, two of the best acoustic
players of today are Morse and Howe, so it's quite a fun thing you've
got going on this album, Morse covering Howe. One of the strongest
tracks is Changes, covered by Enchant. Ever since I heard it for the
first time, I've always thought that it's one of the best songs ever
done by Yes. Of course it's a little bit different compared to
Roundabout, Starship Trooper and all those oldies, but indeed quite as
good. When it comes to beauty, there's a very harmonic version of "Turn
of The Century" by Annie Haslam with Steve Howe on acoustic guitar. She,
with her soft voice, does the song real justice.
An interesting album with a lot of great musicians, performing a lot of
great songs. For fans of progressive rock and especially for Yes fans...
