Listening to Billy Sherwoodâs Citizen. Itâs a concept album of sorts, for each song placing a citizen of the world in a certain context and era â some titles, for example, âThe Great Depressionâ, âThe Age of the Atomâ, âEmpireâ, and so on. There are contributions on this release from Chris Squire (his last recording), Alan Parsons, Rick Wakeman, Steve Hackett and many more. Some tracks I enjoyed more than others â and while it doesnât absolutely enthral me, on the whole it seems very nicely executed, intelligent, and not too overblown, which is such a relief â itâs always a fine line IMHO and the balance can so easily be upset!
May have to listen again, but this song is my favourite so far, with Colin Moulding of XTC taking the lead vocal â âJust Galileo and Meâ â¦
