GARY HUGHES - stub review added 10th November 2008
Album Review: Once And Future King - Pt 2 (2003)
For fans of: hard rock... and concept albums about the legend of King Arthur
Second album of the The Once And Future King project, here Gary Hughes and the original cast are joined by Harry Hess and Doogie White.
Best song, and actually best from either of the albums is 'Without You' sung by ex-Diamondhead front man Sean Harris. This song has real feeling and a tinge of sadness that comes across beautifully.
Overall this album is just better than the first, although it still isn't that amazing. The project is something that everyone should hear at least once, but the main problem is you probably won't come back for a second listen.
Check out... The variety of voices.
