Rocktopia: Steve Hackett - 'Live Rails' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Gary Marshall: Released through his own website (Hackettsongs.com) this two disc album represents the first leg of touring to promote his excellent 'Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth' CD and it shows a band at the top of its form. He may be a solo artist but that doesn't mean that Hackett hogs the limelight and it really comes across as a tight knit and cohesive band that are playing these songs. I could probably come up with a different set list that ticked all the boxes for me but actually I have no gripes at all because despite some of my favourite tracks being omitted, what is present is so well played and beautifully balanced in terms of Hackett's strengths and variety of material, that all the bases are covered. http://ping.fm/P6blP
