Though Jon Davison has been touring with Yes since 2012, the group’s upcoming release will be his first studio collaboration — and the singer-songwriter looks to have had a critical role.
Stalwart Chris Squire, who co-founded Yes in 1968, says Davison “has contributed very strongly to that in terms of writing, both musically and lyrically.” If fact, Squire tells Lithium that Davison “has pretty much written all the lyrics for this album.”

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
