Tyger - William Blake

In 1990 I recorded an album with Krysia Kristianne and Leslie Chew called Tyger and Other Tales. It was distributed in the U.S. and internationally by JVC Records. It was what I would characterize as a concept album English romantic poetry set to music. Although I dont have much of a taste for that particular genre now, the album was something I had wanted to do for a long time, probably ever since high school. Some of the music had been swirling around in my head for years. Leslie and I auditioned several singers, including Annie Haslam (Renaissance) and Sonja Kristina (Curved Air). For various reasons none of them worked out. We still were looking for that ice princess of British rock sound. I knew Steve Chapman from having worked previously with Al Stewart and Peter White. Steve recommended Krysia, who was amazing. Unfortunately, she recently passed away. The first track on the album is "Tyger" by William Blake.
