There were lots of Classic Rock reissues last week during the holiday and a few more released this Friday. We missed a new local release from The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and we catch up on some long-time classic rockers for New Music Friday, July 12th, 2024.
Focus, Focus 12
Dutch progressive rockers Focus return with their 12th studio album, recorded in Wisseloord Studio in the Netherlands.
The album features a first for a Focus album: a completely improvised piece, recorded as it spontaneously took place in the studio during the recording process.
The majority of the album has been written by Thijs, age 75. The unstoppable Pierre van der Linden, At 78 years old, delivers some of his greatest drum sequences on this album.
