What Are You Listening To?

[Ruby]

Second Nature by Flying Colors – released in 2014. I liked the cover artwork and decided to investigate. Haven’t heard their debut album (there are only the two). It’s something I might have to listen to a couple of times, but there’s definitely a lot of appeal with some fantastic tracks and I love the lead vocalist’s voice – Casey McPherson. The rest of the band is the wonderful Steve Morse, Neal Morse, Dave LaRue and Mike Portnoy. It’s a lot proggie, and little verging on AOR – a fine line, well-trodden … thankfully! IMHO one of the reasons it might work so well is that there doesn’t seem to be an overriding ego - it’s 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 …
