Morse, Portnoy, George launch video for cover of “Hymn 43”
As previously reported here at Stargazed Magazine, Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy & Randy George recently announced their return to the Cover To Cover series of albums with “Cov3r To Cov3r”, the brand new third installment. Featuring their renditions of classic tracks by the likes of King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Gerry Rafferty, David Bowie and more the album will be released on the 24th July as CD, Gatefold 2LP + CD & as Digital Album.
With less than 2 weeks till the album is released they have launched a video for their cover of Jethro Tull’s “Hymn 43”. Neal Morse comments: “When I was young and they packed me off to school, someone played me the second side of the Aqualung album by Jethro Tull and I was immediately consumed by it. Hymn 43 being one of my favorite tracks I was thrilled when the guys wanted to record this one. We kicked it out in one or two takes and it was a gas!”
