(2020) Jon Anderson - 1000 Hands


Review:
It’s been decades in the making and is finally getting an official release. Yes co-founder and its longtime vocalist and songwriter, Jon Anderson, release his long-awaited solo album, 1000 Hands, on July 31, via Blue Elan Records, on CD, digitally, and on a deluxe 180g two-LP set. (The title was briefly available in 2019 at Anderson’s website and at his concerts.) 1000 Hands, as the name implies, includes collaborations with many others. While that may not total 500 (i.e., 1000 hands), the album, produced by Michael Franklin, does feature contributions from many of Anderson’s former Yes bandmates including, notably, the group’s late bassist Chris Squire, as well as longtime guitarist Steve Howe and drummer Alan White, and keyboardist Rick Wakeman and guitarist Trevor Rabin (the Yes alums with whom Anderson toured with recently).
