Recorded in 2010, 'The Living Tree' is Jon Anderson's and Rick Wakeman's debut studio release. It features nine tracks of original material which will be welcomed by the massive and devoted fan base still commanded by these two artists who to many represent the true spirit of Yes.
Despite both artists having extensive successful solo careers stretching back to the mid seventies both Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman will probably forever be associated with the classic line up of British rock band Yes. Throughout the seventies, and for various periods in the nineties and beyond, both musicians enjoyed a fruitful working relationship as part of Yes. The duo however have worked together outside of Yes performing in the UK in 2006 both classics from the Yes catalogue as well as selected items from the pair's individual solo catalogues.

In 2010 it was announced that Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman were to tour together once more. The Living Tree, released at the end of the tour, is the duo's debut studio release and features nine tracks of original material. Titles include The Living Tree (Parts 1 & 2), Morning Star, Anyway and Always, Forever and Just One Man. The duo has been featured recently in the popular Classic Rock Prog magazine and on TV in the BBC4 Prog Britannia programme and, together with the UK tour, this will ensure high interest both in the press and amongst the fan base.

What I've heard is pretty boring and forgettable. Just Jon and Rick. Jon does not sound as good as normal, but at his age he's still got a lot. But this does not even interest this Yes nut. Maybe someone will want it, hence my post!
