Bob Catley - Tales & Whispers (CD)

Escape Music brings us a fine acoustic album from the voice of MAGNUM, BOB CATLEY. Created alongside guitarist Vince O’Regan (ESCAPE, LEGION, PULSE) - who also contributes occasional percussion - these recordings date back to around the time of Catley’s fifth solo release "Spirit of Man" (2006) and were long considered to be lost. Fans won't find any MAGNUM tracks here, but the British singer's solo songs are all strong, most notably "Return of the Mountain King" and "Stormcrowe and Pilgrim" from 2001's "Middle Earth". Excellent sound quality and beautiful artwork round off "Tales & Whispers" perfectly. Top-notch! (MS)
