Among them is his longtime friend and musical companion, Steve Hackett (Genesis), who delivers breathtaking guitar work throughout the album. Drum legends Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Judas Priest), Nick D’Virgilio (Big Big Train, Spock’s Beard, Mr. Big), and Craig Blundell (Steven Wilson, Steve Hackett, Frost) provide a rhythm section of extraordinary depth. For the first time, Reingold collaborates with vocalist John Mitchell (Asia, Lonely Robot, Frost, Arena), whose gritty, soulful voice perfectly complements Reingold’s melodic compositions. Additionally, Randy McStine delivers lead guitar firepower, marking their first collaboration since The Fringe in 2016. The album also features an all-star lineup, including Lalle Larsson, Andy Tillison, Tomas Bodin, Luke Machin, Göran Edman, Rob Townsend, Roger King, and Krister Jonsson, among others. Recorded across Nashville, Los Angeles, Germany, and Austria, the album delivers a breathtaking sonic experience, mixed by five-time Grammy-winning engineer Chris Lord-Alge (Rolling Stones, Muse, Tina Turner, Prince) at his Los Angeles studio, MIX LA.
