New Issue Of Classic Rock Presents Prog Out Now
Classic Rock Presents Prog hits the shelves again today.
It has a lavishly illustrated Rush spectacular celebrating their current Time Machine tour that features an exclusive in-depth chat with sticksman/lyricist Neil Peart – his first rock magazine interview in five years – plus Geddy Lee on the evolution of the band, the Time Machine set-up and 30 years of Moving Pictures.
Also in this issue:
* On the road with Fairport Convention and the story of Babbacombe Lee.
* Here come The Nice: Keith Emerson and Lee Jackson pop into Prog HQ
* Judy Dyble: Fairport and Robert Fripp’s original muse tells us her extraordinary story – and all about her new album and anthology
* Cumbria’s finest, It Bites, on their new live DVD and the concept album in the pipeline
* In the run-up to his arena shows, ex-Supertramp star Roger Hodgson reveals all in his feud with Rick Davies
* Plus! We explore Roy Harper’s Stormcock as our Masterwork, Pentangle maestro John Renbourn as our Maverick, and cram in new bands Phaedra, Konchordat, Rose Kemp and Arcane Roots.
* Want more? How about Adrian Belew, Presto Ballet, Mastodon, Wolverine, Beardfish, Peter Gabriel, ELP, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Van der Graaf, Pendragon, Marillion, Radiohead, Haken and Touchstone?
Of course we mustn’t forget our regular FREE Prognosis CD, this issue featuring 11 tracks from Twelfth Night, Liam Davison, John Young, Talanas, Aethenor and more, and for UK and subscription customers* we are proud to include an exclusive bonus CD, Starcrazy – An Introduction To Judy Dyble, a seven-track sampler from the folk-prog songstress’ singular catalogue, including two outstanding new tracks.
Phew, what a scorcher.
*this CD will not be available to customers outside of the UK for contractual reasons.
Too bad the bonus CD isn’t offered outside of the UK. What a bummer. I have subscribed to Classic Rock Presents Prog since it was first made available and have thoroughly enjoyed every issue. Wish there was something that could be put in place of the CD like maybe a patch or pin or magnet something for us outside UK subscribers. Keep putting out great articles and new music CDs.
Wow! look at that cover! Kind of embarassing, isn’it…why not a live picture?
fdr, what are you on about?
We’ve seen live photographs of Rush a hundred times.
What’s wrong with something a bit different?
It’s a great cover.
I’m a subscriber – how come it’s in the shops and I’m waiting for my copy?
Spectacular interview with Roger Hodgson, co-founder and voice of Supertramp. Great that we are finally hearing the history of what transpired around the time that Roger left Supertramp. What a pity that Rick Davies is not a man of his word and apparently has no integrity or ethics. We need more artists and people in the world like Roger Hodgson. What a revelation that there are actually musicians who have morals and abide by the truth. May all good things continue to come to Roger. He has given us some amazing songs with Fool’s Overture, Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Hide in Your Shell, School, Take the Long Way Home, and so very many more.
I just read the interview about Roger Hodgson. I can only imagine how frustrating this situation must be for him. How very unfortunate that Roger’s former partner is not keeping his part of the agreement that the two of them made.
Roger’s musical legacy is forever in our hearts. We are so very fortunate that he has given us the treasures of his songs and I am so grateful that he is still touring. I cannot wait until May to see him at the Royal Albert Hall. Please sing my favorite – Fool’s Overture…
Fabulous feature on It Bites – one of the world’s very best bands, but hard to get info on. Great to hear from Prog that there’s a new album on the way – can’t wait!
