Jon Anderson is at his best as a team player, working with close collaborators to create an expansive musical landscape and vision, whether that’s with Yes, Vangelis or Roine Stolt. It’s a pleasure to report that this devastatingly effective album is one of those occasions.
True features the twists, turns and musical hairpin bends of Anderson’s Yes years without slavishly copying, adding a modern cohesiveness. But strong hints of his old outfit are very much present in his collaborators, The Band Geeks, who – perhaps unsurprisingly – came to his attention covering Yes songs.
