Read "Come Rain Or Come Shine" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay

Subtlety. It's a useful characteristic in many walks of life. It's underused, too. Come Rain Or Come Shine, the first recording from the partnership of singer Georgia Mancio and guitarist Nigel Price, is an object lesson in subtlety, in understated interpretation, in the impact of nuance. It's really rather good. Mancio and Price are ...

Read "The Yes Album (Definitive Edition CD/Blu-Ray)" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

While later albums like Fragile (Atlantic, 1971) and the epic Close to the Edge (Atlantic, 1972) would establish Yes as superstars of the progressive rock world (and, to some extent, beyond), it was The Yes Album, also released by Atlantic but nine months earlier in February of 1971, that announced Yes a group with still-untapped potential ...

Read "The Semi-Detached Suburban Home (Music For Low Strung Guitar)" reviewed by Roger Farbey

by Roger Farbey

For the uninitiated, Billy Jenkins stands alone, a unique guitarist in a world full of axe murderers.
