## Description

2011 album from the former Yes vocalist. This album is a collaborative affair featuring Jon and many other artists writing songs via the internet while Jon performs them. The album as a performance is however a solo album and features that unique Jon Anderson stamp. It began life as an advert on Jon Anderson's website. "About four years ago I just put in an ad on my website: 'Musicians Wanted'... this is the result." - Jon Anderson

    Survival and Other Stories Comes to Life
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2011*

Jon Anderson's voice has been a beacon of light for more than 40 years.  As the mystical singer of Yes, Jon helped define progressive rock in 1970s, creating some of the most ambitious and timeless musical works of his generation.  In the 1980s, Anderson paired up with the Greek keyboard wizard Vangelis, a collaboration that resulted in hauntingly beautiful extended works like The Friends of Mr. Cairo and Horizons.  And in the 1990s, Jon teamed up with the New-Age composer Kitaro to create the exquisite and inspiring music found on the album Dreams.In the new millennium Anderson continued to work with Yes until life-threatening health issues led to his involuntary departure from the group he put his heart and soul into.  The circumstances surrounding Jon's rift with the band are unfortunate.  However, true to form Jon has responded to the challenges life thrust upon him with personal and musical dignity.  I saw Jon Anderson in concert in Ridgefield CT in 2010 and can personally attest that his unique musical gifts (and sense of humor) are well intact.  Jon is still in very good voice and his music and stage presence are as enchanting as ever.Jon is best experienced in small venues, which allow for an intimate setting and a real rapport with the audience.  Recording technology is amazing, but no CD or recording can truly capture the magic of hearing Jon live.  Nevertheless, his new album, Survival and Other Stories does what good music should do; namely, it creates a bond with its listeners.Jon's music on Survival and Other Stories is both highly personal and deeply felt.  Unbroken Spirit touches on Jon's health crisis and his struggle to maintain his spirit in the face of bodily decline.  This is not the kind of fare you'd expect from a rock singer, but this gentle, almost whimsical song is suffused with a melodic grace that is touching and inspiring.Jon is in remarkably good voice throughout this record, which is a wonder considering his health issues.  Nevertheless, one can't help but notice a certain frailty and vulnerability in his sound.  If anything, I think this works to the music's advantage because I believe age has extended the emotional range in Jon's voice.  Paradoxically, Jon may sound more emotionally exposed, but he is also more inspiring than ever.There is a wealth of great melodies on this album.  Love and Understanding, for example, is as uplifting and melodically exuberant as anything Jon Anderson has ever done.  The music here is just full of an irrepressible soul-nourishing joy.  Just One Man, on the other hand, is an achingly beautiful song that expresses Jon's belief that hope can triumph over mankind's tragic condition.If I were to use just one word to describe the music on the album it would be "organic."  The songs here are wholesome, refreshing, and soul-nourishing.  Jon's spirit is shining as brightly as ever on his new album.  This is music that will warm your heart and touch your soul.

    Wow - Exceeds my Expectations!!
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2011*

I've had Jon's new CD for several weeks now. So far I have found only one problem with it - I can't seem to stop listening to it!!! It's in my home stereo and car stereo constantly.The songs are beautifully infectious. Some of them hitting hard with kind of a Peter Gabriel/Tony Levin type of soundscape. Others that are just breathtakingly ethereal. Others that are profoundly spiritual (Just One Man literally brought my wife to tears the first time I played it for her). This album has it all. And it's so good to hear Jon putting together his trademark 3 and 4 layer vocal harmonies again - he's like a choir unto himself.All the praise here in these five star reviews is 100% correct. So I don't want to spend a lot of time rehashing what has alrerady been said by other reviewers (and said very well, I might add - kudos to all) but if I could give it 6 stars, I would.A shining beacon of musicality in today's sea of common, empty banality!! I haven't been inspired by a new work of music like this for quite some time.Also, I'd have to wholeheartedly agree with "Steve in Memphis" - not that this really has any bearing on anything as a whole,but we all know this comparison is inevitable: this album FAR EXCEEDES the new Yes album in every respect.Here's hoping that "Survival & Other Stories" is just the beginning of a new chapter in the amazing 40+ year career of Mr Anderson.It's a shame that very little of this, if any at all, will ever get any mainstream radio play. There are a lot of people out there who are desperate to hear good music like this. They just don't know where to find it.

Classic Jon Anderson! A man whose music I've dubbed my favorite above all others in my life. I will listen to this and the rest of his albums as long as I can still find a way to do so! 💖
