Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman might be best known for their work in Yes, but that’s just part of the picture.

Interview with Jon Anderson from 2018

Interview with Jon Anderson from 2020

I remember when the original version of this came out wondering why a full live album wasn’t done.

The whole “do an album of covers” concept is a popular approach these days.

Lately I’ve been breaking our old rule at Music Street Journal.

The first thing to mention here is that this is a collaborative effort between former Yes singer Jon Anderson and former Counting Crows bassist Matt Malley.

This single from Anderson, Bruford Wakeman and Howe is out of print, of course, but these days, it’s not that hard (or sometimes expensive) to get your hands on something like this.

I bought this on vinyl when it first came out. Since the onset of the CD era this has been in and out of print for a while. This is the first time I’ve owned it on CD.

Jon Anderson and Jean-Luc Ponty have talked about doing a project together for a long time.

I’ve put this EP in the prog section of Music Street Journal. I suppose you could say that it’s more of a folk release.

This is an excellent book in many ways. First, it’s a quick read – partly because it’s not all that long and partly because it’s written in such a way that it flows really well.

This single from Anderson, Bruford Wakeman and Howe is out of print, of course, but these days, it’s not that hard (or sometimes expensive) to get your hands on something like this.

This is a newly remastered version of the Jon Anderson Change We Must album.

A contender for best of the year, this is arguably Sherwood’s best solo album ever.

Yes seldom do anything in a small way when it can be done in an epic manner. 

This is a new release as a single disc. I previously reviewed it as the third disc of a Nolan and Wakeman box set.

This is a review of the special edition audiophile release of Close to the Edge. This is a great limited edition, numbered CD release.

This is a new release of Rick Wakeman's 1984 soundtrack album. There are two songs here with vocals (one is a bonus track) serving as book-ends to the release.

Our old rule at Music Street Journal was, if it’s out of print, we don’t review it.

This is quite a cool set. The main man behind this is Billy Sherwood, and I always like the stuff he does.

This remastered version just came out now. 

Cleopatra Records loves doing these tribute albums, typically with Billy Sherwood in charge.

I’ve been going through some of my old vinyl and getting things reviewed.

This box set is a class act. The whole thing comes in something that resembles a book. 

This is a brand new “Remastered Edition” of this live Rick Wakeman album.

Lately we’ve been moving away from our long-held rule that in order to reviewed an item had to be in print.

Although this is out of print, I’ve decided to review it at Music Street Journal.

Certainly fans of Yes and specifically Jon Anderson will be drawn to this disc.

I’ve always been a big fan of the Doors.

It seems that a common occurrence these days is for different factions within a classic band to form versions of the band and go out and tour. Well, it has now become a thing with Yes.

I saw Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe on this tour and it was purely magical.

This is my first time seeing Yes with the Benoit David and Oliver Wakeman line-up.

Featuring a guest list that includes Jon Anderson, this is a great piece of modern progressive rock with plenty of nods to the old school variety.

Fans of Rick Wakeman don’t often get to see him performing solo live.

I really love this album.

I reviewed the original release of this album before, and the songs are unchanged here.

At Music Street Journal we’ve joined a number of publications in a ban on reviews of digital only products.

This is a reissue of the Yes album Open Your Eyes on 180 gram vinyl.

This is a newly remastered version of a Rick Wakeman live album. 

It used to be that at Music Street Journal we didn’t cover things that were out of print.

Going back and catching up on some vinyl releases, this one should be pretty easy to find online.

The last couple albums from William Shatner have landed in my “best of” lists for those two years.

This is a new, massive box set from Yes. It includes seven complete concerts from 1972.

The old rule at Music Street Journal was that we didn’t cover items that weren’t in print.

Let me just start this review to say that I like this album a lot.

This is just getting released on BluRay and with an extra concert.

This DVD is one of the best from Yes.

I am a big fan of pretty much anything Billy Sherwood is involved with and I love Supertramp, so when I heard Sherwood was in charge of assembling an all star tribute to Supertramp, I was excited.

I don't think I had heard of Alan Simon until recently. This double disc set captures a lot of his previous work.

This new Rick Wakeman album is actually a compilation. That said, it features a couple tracks that have never before been released.

This album, featuring collaborations Jon Anderson made with various independent musicians, was originally released last year, in a very limited release. 

Since we’ve already reviewed the DVD version of this set, this review will focus on the difference between this new BluRay release and that original one.

Here is another compilation of Yes music. It is the first two CDs from The Ultimate Yes, repackaged.

What an amazing set this is.

This newest set from Leon Alvarado is quite a tasty one. It has a number of nearly vocal only spoken bits that tell the story of the album.

For hardcore Yes fans, this is a real treasure.

This album is a compilation of various progressive rock performances that were presented on the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio show. All of the outings are quite good, and the selection of artists is also. 

This 35th Anniversary collection of Yes shares a lot of material with other compilations of theirs.

The third album from Yes, The Yes Album was a transitional disc. 

There have been a few books written about the band, Yes but this one really includes the involvement of many of the members of the group through extensive interviews. 

An album that is rather maligned in fan circles, Tormato is a bit pop oriented, but really has some wonderous moments. The bass sound on this one is a bit experimental, having a very processed approach, and although the majority of the songs are more accessible, there is a spirit of prog rock jamming that creates an openness and spirit of virtuosity throughout.

Like last year, there is a new Yes picture disc released for Record Store Day. Last year it was 90125. This year they turned their attention to Tormato.

I remember seeing Yes on the Union tour. It was an amazing show.

This album is fully instrumental. It’s a great disc, too. Some of the music here has appeared elsewhere (although most of the time in different arrangements)

I like The Who quite a bit. I mean, they aren’t one of my favorite bands, but I do really like them.

I’m sure some would make the argument that we don’t need another Yes compilation album.

This is a new reissue of the original Yes concert film. While the main film remains unchanged from older editions, there is quite a bit of added material here.
