Ian Thomas with a symphony orchestra. What a finely crafted piece of musical art this is. Ian taps into some of his classics as well as unveiling some new songs. The arrangements are all world class. Ian is still in fine vocal form and his reinterpretation of his catalog is amazing. Relatively unknown in the U.S., Ian has maintained a huge following in Canada and with this piece of work shows that there are always new musical boundaries to be crossed. Not to be missed!

Released in 1995, the project led by Ricky Phillips known as the bassist of Babys, Bad English and Styx adds the Fergie Ferederiksen (best known as the vocalist of Toto’s Isolation) as the lead vocalist. It is really a great album for AOR/Melodic rock fans but it is really hard to find because it is available only as an import.

IF YOU’RE NOT Canadian then you’ve either never heard of Ian Thomas, or conversely, you’ll know that he’s one of the most talented artists to ever draw breath. Inside Canada he’s become something of an institution, still touring and still writing magnificent songs, whether it is for himself or one of his other musical outlets. The man is a king of kings in the world of Canadian singer-songwriters, with all the praise and goodwill bestowed on a national treasure.

Journey frontman’s epic voice is still intact, but his first album in nearly a quarter century doesn’t quite have the spark of his finest hits. The album is very much a classic Steve Perry record, full of dramatic schmaltz, nostalgia and the occasional rocker.
