Pt. 2: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds

from Rhythm on the Rocks

This week, Frizz and Bob continue the tale of Jeff Wayne's ultimate passion project, his musical version of The War of the Worlds. Frizz poured Talisker Single Malt Scotch and Bob pours Green River Bourbon while we talk about modern tours, Liam Neeson and his very special set of skills,  computer-generated whackiness, and finally get into the marvelous tracks themselves. We'll open the cylinder of music theory and orchestration and learn just how brilliant the writing on this record truly is.
