"A significant song of hope!" In 2010, with Yes forging on without him, Jon Anderson teamed up with old pal Rick Wakeman for The Living Tree album

Following ill health, hospitalisation and rejection from his long-term bandmates Yes, Jon Anderson reutned in 2010 – with a little help from a grumpy old pal - with The Living Tree album. This is what Prog made of the album...

The very fact that this recording exists is something we should be grateful for. The incidents of May 13 2008, which rendered this project’s Lancastrian-born singer hospital-bound (he suffers from Reactive Airway Disease, which is similar to asthma) coupled with ongoing liver and pancreas problems almost took Jon Anderson off to the circus of heaven well before his time was due.
