Bob Catley - Legends (1999)

[Darkstone]

I'm on a bit of a Gary Hughes binge at the moment.

I don't think this will be everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. Pure class.

Written and produced by Gary Hughes, this could easily be one of his solo albums or a "ten" album.

Each track pays tribute to a particular "Legend", whether they be historical or fictional.

"Medusa" and "Hydra" from "The Odyssey/iliad" are great. "Tender is the Night" is about Marilyn Monroe and is far superior to "Candle in the Wind" IMO and "A Beautiful Night for Love", a great ballad, is inspired by Wuthering Heights. It's quite an eclectic mix.

My favourite track however is the Dracula inspired "Shelter From the Night". One of my all-time faves.

I absolutely love his 'Immortal' release as it is a no skipper for me but the rest of his solo stuff is hit or miss.....

Agreed. I do love "The Tower" though.
