Mother’s Ruin is the latest studio project by Rick Wakeman’s oldest son, Oliver Wakeman, and marks a progression in his musical career. The album sees a change in direction from Oliver’s recent instrumental releases and draws heavily both from his progressive roots and also the experience performing live with his band. Oliver Wakeman has been a professional musician in his own right for the past few years. He has released several works to critical acclaim. A collection of hard-edged yet melodic songs, the album showcases Wakeman’s writing skills but also allows room for the dynamic instrumentation which has become a trademark of his work. The line-up includes Oliver Wakeman (piano, keyboards, acoustic guitar), Moon Kinnaird (vocals), David Mark Pearce (guitar), Tim Buchanan (bass guitar) and Dave Wagstaffe(drums and percussion). With tracks such as ‘Mother’s Ruin’ tackling the emotive issue of the environment and our impact on the planet, and ‘The Agent’ depicting experiences with a fictional music industry low-life, this album covers a host of subjects all within the framework of powerful rhythms and grooves. Oliver has said: “Of all the albums I have released, ‘Mother’s Ruin’ stands as the piece of work I am most proud of.” Track Listing |
