Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1996


Dit is het derde album van deze [Celtic] Folk Prog formatie.
Met een bijdrage van Keith Emerson.




Tempest is an American-Norwegian-British Prog Folk band that has been around since the 1980"s. They should not be confused with the all-British Heavy Prog band of the same name with Jon Hiseman and Allan Holdsworth that recorded two albums in the mid 70"s. 

This US-based Prog Folk band plays a Celtic-influenced Rock with fiddles, mandolins and flutes in addition to the standard Rock band line up with electric guitars, drums, bass and vocals. They also feature keyboards on their albums and on the present album none other than the great Keith Emerson guests on The Barrow Man adding some great, but rather sparse synthesisers. Presumably the band met Keith while recording the Jethro Tull tribute album together with other greats such as Roy Harper, John Wetton, Ian McDonald and several others. The rest of the keyboards are played by one Robert Barry (I very much doubt it is the same Robert Barry who sang lead vocals on the 3 album with Emerson and Carl Palmer in the 80"s) and is mostly organ and some synthesisers. But keyboards have only a supporting role throughout, fiddle and electric guitars taking the lead.
