What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Keith Emerson is probably my favorite prog rock keyboardist after Rick Wakeman. After leaving
the Nice, Keith hooked up with Greg Lake of King Crimson. Adding Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster,
a prog rock band was formed. This is the bands fourth studio album and the only one I own on
cd. I have the first three on vinyl. They had achieved enought clout by this time to form their
own label. Some collaboration in the writing here with Peter Sinfield, another King Crimson
member. Didn't know the title of this album was taken from a Dr. John song. See, I'm always
learning stuff. Only five tracks listed on my copy of this, with the last one being split into
three parts. That's how I graded it. The album hit #11 in the US and #2 in the UK.
