Citizen is Billy Sherwood’s newest Concept Album, including
11 songs written with a theme being "a lost soul reincarnated
into various periods of history, he is the citizen..." The
songs describe the individual experinces through his own
eyes: a conscript legionnaire in the Roman Army at the end
of the Empire. A trench runner in WW1. A friend to Galileo,
as he discovers the Earth is not flat. A distraught Wall
Street man stepping out onto the ledge... a casualty of
the great depression. Assistant to Charles Darwin as he
discovers his Theory. A member of the tribe during the trail
of tears. Reborn as Nostradamus... written in the Centuries.***
For this special record, Billy put together an impressive
list of guest stars which includes Chris Squire, Tony Kaye,
Steve Hackett, Geoff Downes, Colin Moulding, Steve Morse,
Jerry Goodman, Alan Parsons, Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz,
Jon Davison, Jordan Rudess and John Wesley.***
Billy Sherwood is current member of YES, handpicked
by original founding member Chris Squire before his untimely
death in June 2015. Billy started in career in the band
Lodgic and then World Trade with whom he released two albums.
He jouined YES for the first time as touring member on the
“Talk” tour in 1994 before becoming a full time member from
1997 to 1999. He also recorded two albums with Chris Squire
himself on the “Conspiracy” project and released six albums
with CIRCA, the band he formed with the other YES former
member Tony Kaye.***
Billy Sherwood says: “For me the most special track
on the record is the title track "The Citizen," which sets
the stage for the concept behind it all, on this track is
the last recording of Chris Squire and he's larger than
life on it! I recorded him not too long ago in a Holiday
Inn when I went to visit with him just before he fell ill.
Tony Kaye is playing hammond and keys on the track and sounds
great as always!!! There are many sonic treats in the production
and if you put yourself in the mind of the citizen... it's
quite a journey !!”***
