This is one of the best Cd’s Rick Wakeman has dropped to date. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Rick Wakeman’s album Country Airs falls to No. 2 with 594,000, a sales slide of 64%. For older fans Country Airs will put a massive smile accross your face. Rick Wakeman “Country Airs” is an amazing album.
The opening track Wild Moors is very much like you would expect from other albums. Harvest Festival has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. The Glade is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. I believe Dandelion Dreams is one of the most excellent, heartfelt songs ever written. I find myself hearing bits of Ducks and Drakes here and there throughout my waking hours. Country Airs couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Green to Gold. Stepping Stones - Check out that bassline! Morning Haze is one of the best records ever. In Waterfalls Rick Wakeman is at his best. The Spring make listening to Rick Wakeman like being in some sort of time warp. When I listen to Quiet Valleys in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Nature Trails is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. From the moment you listen to Heather Carpets you’re hooked.
