‘True’ is a brand new studio album of 9 Anderson originals composed and performed with the intention of rivalling the epic sound of classic YES!
In 2023, after connecting with a group of New York musicians called The Band Geeks, Jon Anderson embarked on a summer of 2023 tour performing two hours of YES epics and classics.
With The Band Geeks, Jon found a group of musicians that he felt could collaborate with him to create a body of work that rivalled the classic YES sound of the 70’s and 80’s.
The result of this collaboration is ‘True’.
The 9-song album harkens back to the sound of classic YES and features compositions of all lengths with the centrepiece being the 16-minute: ‘Once Upon A Dream’.
During Jon Anderson’s 39-year Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career as the lead vocalist of YES, he was seen as one of the leading proponents of the Progressive Rock movement. During his tenure with YES, he recorded 19 studio albums and multiple ‘live’ albums, many of which have been certified gold and platinum. Albums such as ‘The YES Album’, ‘Fragile’, ‘Close To The Edge’, ‘Tales From Topographic Oceans’, and ‘90125’ remain classic albums to this day.
Songs such as ‘Roundabout’, ‘Yours Is No Disgrace’, ‘And You And I’, ‘Going For The One’, ‘Awaken’, and ‘Owner Of A Lonely Heart’ were staples on Active Rock radio throughout the 70’s and 80’s.
While still a member of YES, Jon released multiple solo records and collaborations, the most noteworthy being his 4 albums with Greek composer Vangelis.
Upon leaving YES in 2008, Jon continued releasing multiple solo records and collaborations.
‘True’ is released on 23rd August 2024.
‘True’ is also available as a Vinyl LP – Stock # 2206757
