Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

Omschrijving | February 2023 sees the much anticipated release of
Peter Gee’s new solo album.
‘Pilgrim’ , which is his seventh solo album. This
is also Peter Gee’s fourth album release with
worldwide distribution company White Knight
Records.
‘Pilgrim’ is a concept album, over a total of 69
minutes, which is based upon John Bunyan’s famous
book of 1678, ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress.’
"Pilgrim" is a great progressive rock album, with
something for everyone, including some beautiful
and soulful vocals, magical 12 string guitar
pieces, evocative piano melodies, soaring guitar
solos and wonderful performances throughout.
If you like Pendragon’s music, or if you just like
good rock music, progressive structures and songs
with melody and emotion, then you will love this
album! This is an album that you can really enter
into the world that it evokes, and the story that
it tells of Pilgrim’s journey through his life,
including the key moment when God sets "Christian"
free from the burden of his past mistakes and
wrongs, forgives him and sets him free at the
cross to travel on towards The Celestial City.
This is a beautiful allegory and you can truly
immerse yourself within the story - everything
that a good concept album should do! Finally, this
album cover features the beautiful 18th Century
colour map of Pilgrim’s journey, which in itself
is a wonderful piece of art.
Peter Gee says, “This was one of the books that
most influenced my father, Reverend Michael Gee,
in his ministry as a vicar in the Church of
England for over 30 years. After my father died,
we then erected a stained glass window in his
memory at Holy Trinity Church, Brimscombe, of the
scene from Bunyan’s book where Pilgrim brings his
burden to the cross. So this album was very much
for me a personal journey, and a mission that I
needed to complete in memory of my father, and of
his life of loving service. Although it was first
published in 1678, this is still the story of
every human being on our planet today. We are all
travellers who are just passing though this world,
and we are all on a journey throughout this
lifetime, and then when we die, we move on to the
world to come. And we all need to keep to The Way
and press on towards The Celestial City, or
Heaven, as we call it today.”
The ‘Pilgrim’ album showcases the amazing vocal
talents of Steve Thorne (solo artist), Jimmy
Flanders, Becky Brannigan and Hayley Oliver, as
well as regular collaborator Steve Christey
(Jadis) on drums.
‘Pilgrim’ contains a stunning array of musical
styles from the progressive ‘The Wicket Gate,’
‘The Delectable Mountains’ and ‘The Celestial
City,’ to classic rock song ‘The City of
Destruction’ to the soaring guitar solo on ‘The
River Of Death,’ from the beautiful female vocal
solo introduction to ‘Pilgrim’s Burden’ to the
early Genesis style acoustic pieces ‘Faithful’ and
‘Enchanted Ground,’ from the captivating powerful
piano pieces ‘Pilgrim Lays Down His Burden At The
Cross’ and ‘Doubting Castle’ to the groove based
‘Low Country of Pride’ and the more commercial
‘Vanity Fair’ and on to the darker pieces of ‘The
Destroyer’ and ‘Valley of The Shadow Of Death’.
And yet this whole album has a wonderful power and
unity to it and the story draws you in to see
whether or not the Pilgrim, named “Christian,”
will succeed in his lifelong spiritual journey
from The City of Destruction to The Celestial
City.
