Our Take

Rick Wakeman, the legendary keyboard wizard of Yes fame, has stripped down his sound on his latest release "Simply Acoustic." Known for his intricate prog rock compositions and flamboyant stage presence, Wakeman takes a more intimate approach on this album.

The stripped-back arrangements allow Wakeman's masterful playing to shine through, showcasing his technical prowess and emotive touch. Tracks like "Morning Has Broken" and "Amazing Grace" are given new life in these acoustic interpretations, reminding listeners of Wakeman's versatility as a musician.

While the lack of bombastic keyboards and complex arrangements may disappoint some fans, "Simply Acoustic" offers a refreshing change of pace for those looking to hear Wakeman in a more subdued setting. The absence of flashy production tricks puts the focus squarely on the music itself, allowing Wakeman's talent to speak for itself.

Overall, "Simply Acoustic" is a charming addition to Wakeman's extensive discography. It may not be the most groundbreaking release of his career, but it is a delightful showcase of his skill and artistry. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, this album is sure to leave you feeling uplifted and inspired.
