Thanks to Mr. Hackett’s crack promotional staff, Joe and I had the opportunity to listen to the new release ahead of time, and let me tell you it is something. So sit back and enjoy. The album is released on January 25th, 2019.

Before we get too deep huge, huge, huge thanks to our super producer Bob who worked into the wee hours so we could get this episode up a week+ before the release date. He is the man!!!

Our Back to School episode. So the three missing episodes will show after this one. Steve Hackett has released an album worthy of your money and time. We discuss it track by track and in the spirit of September (and as professional educators) we give Mr. Hackett his report card. SPOILER ALERT: He qualifies for Honor Roll. Listen and enjoy. The last track is from an audience recording from Butlins Minehead, Somerset, England from Sunday 29th January 2017. The person who recorded this did not leave his name in the text but I want to thank him/her. So listen for a BONUS track at the end.
