NEM#59: Annie Haslam's Renaissance: Sing Now, Figure it Out Later

Nov 20, 2017, 03:02 AM

Annie fronted British symphonic rock band Renaissance for nine albums starting in 1971 but only in the late 80s became a lyricist. She's now released eight studio albums and two new Renaissance albums. We discuss "Blessing in Disguise," the title track from her 1994 album; "Grandine il Vento", the title track from Renaissance's 2013 album, and “Precious One” from Annie's The Dawn of Ananda (2000). End song: "Symphony of Light," also from Grandine il Vento. Opening music: "Introlise" from Annie in Wonderland (1977) and Renaissance's "Northern Lights" from “A Song for All Seasons” (1978).
