Lawrence Gowan of Styx - 2025 Interview

I interviewed Lawrence Gowan of Styx. We discussed:Their new album, Circling From Above.When the listener is nervous to hear the new album because they loved the last album.The challenge of giving yourself only three days to write and record a song.The melody idea that would not leave him alone.Their continuing embrace of song vignettes.When the final version of a song is even better than the initial idea.Creating conflict and resolution within the span of one song.
