Greg Lake left behind a rich musical legacy when he passed away in 2016.

A new career-spanning compilation called The Anthology: A Musical Journey will pay tribute to his contributions through the decades. It will be released on October 23 through BMG.

Pictures At An Exhibition: Cherry Red Revisits Keith Emerson’s “Off the Shelf”

May 9, 2017 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Though Keith Emerson died in March 2016, the influential body of work left behind by the keyboardist, arranger and composer lives on. A decade before his untimely passing, Emerson compiled a disc’s worth of previously unreleased tracks. He described 2006’s Off the Shelf as “a veritable cornucopia of potpourri within an audio montage!” Now, that collection has been reissued by Cherry Red’s Esoteric Recordings imprint for those fans of the late artist who missed it the first time. Emerson first rose to fame as a member of The Nice, establishing himself as…

Razor and Tie Revisits Emerson Lake and Palmer’s “Brain Salad Surgery” For 40th Anniversary

July 31, 2014 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

For Emerson, Lake and Palmer, the fourth time was the charm. Keyboardist Keith Emerson, vocalist/bassist/guitarist Greg Lake and drummer/percussionist Carl Palmer were innovators in the progressive rock genre, fusing classical, jazz and heavy rock on a regular basis since their 1970 self-titled debut album. ELP was an answer both to the compact, three-minute pop songs that dominated the airwaves and to the blues-rock genre epitomized by the likes of Led Zeppelin, and the group pursued a refinement of their sound via their second and third albums, Tarkus and Trilogy. Yet the best…
