Second Nature by Flying Colors â released in 2014. I liked the cover artwork and decided to investigate. Havenât heard their debut album (there are only the two). Itâs something I might have to listen to a couple of times, but thereâs definitely a lot of appeal with some fantastic tracks and I love the lead vocalistâs voice â Casey McPherson. The rest of the band is the wonderful Steve Morse, Neal Morse, Dave LaRue and Mike Portnoy. Itâs a lot proggie, and little verging on AOR â a fine line, well-trodden ⦠thankfully! IMHO one of the reasons it might work so well is that there doesnât seem to be an overriding ego - itâs an unusual and successful combination of anthemic, and yet ethereal, with good, intelligent lyrics, as in this track; all collaboratively conceived by the whole band. Nice. Very nice â¦
