| Loyal | |||||||||||||||||||||
| This album was recorded Nov 2003 thru July 2004 at Waterstreet Studios, Seattle Wa USA. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Album Trivia: Upon hearing roughs of this recording, Chris Squire suggested a Conspiracy and Treason tour featuring material ultimately released as the Conspiracy LIVE DVD along with live performances of Loyal. The Treason Loyal band was ultimately re-christened White and this recording was used to invite management, promotion, and investment. Slated to be released as White: Loyal (New Day, a briefly considered alternate album name, was quickly dismissed), these tracks demonstrate the joy, power and potential of the Loyal band. In the end, Sherwood, Schellen and Stockwell felt that the chosen management and label did not have the drive nor experience necessary for a successful tour and withdrew. An earlier set of recordings based out of Merkaba sessions were never completed. Material slated for a follow on Treason record, along with new material written primarily by Ted Stockwell and vocalist Kevin Currie, were the basis of Loyal. This album remains unreleased. |

The Way You See Me Music: Ted Stockwell, Lyrics: Kevin Currie The last song written for Loyal. This song was written for people who have so much potential, but sell themselves short - not being able to see themselves as others do. Karl Haug sounds incredible on electric guitar!
