William Wyman ‘Billy’ Sherwood – born 14 March 1965, Las Vegas, Nevada. Billy is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer and engineer. He was brought in to join Yes by Chris Squire, post Jon Anderson and Trevor Rabin - his prog roots and prowess are unmistakeable.

He’s made a number of solo releases as well as two with Chris Squire (they called themselves ‘Conspiracy’), a good few with Circa (members all associated with Yes), the Pink Floyd tribute albums Back Against the Wall and Return to the Dark Side of the Moon, and he has a whole long list of collaborations with others too – this being one of them; Shackleton’s Voyage by the German prog project Eureka. I’ll be listening to a lot more of his work …

Ry Cooder is one of a very few artists in which you can have confidence that anything he does will pay dividends (Michael Nesmith and Fred Hersch are 2 others). For more tunes:

Nancy Wilson, born 16 March 1954. She and her sister Ann (who has one of the best voices in rock, IMHO) made a big impact in the late 70's/80's as front women with their band Heart, and they're still rockin'. Here they are with ‘Crazy On You’ –
