Michael Voss pays tribute to his all-time hero, the late Rick Parfitt of Status Quo! On this album, he teamed up with a lengthy list of people who shared both the music and stage with Rick in the past, among them are Bob Young, John Coghlan, Jackie Lynton, Rhino Edwards, Alex Toff and Rick Parfitt Jr. , who has recorded a duet with Voss for this album. Let's celebrate Rick Parfitt, the man with the mighty rhythm in his hands and the powerful vocal cords!

Evolving from a garage punk band in the vein of the Replacements, Dinosaur Jr., and Mudhoney to a literate, pretentious, soul-inflected post-punk quartet, the Afghan Whigs were one of the most critically acclaimed alternative bands of the early '90s. "In Spades" is the eighth full-length studio release for the Cincinnati band led by Greg Dulli. The album was recorded in New Orleans.

One of the premier rock keyboardists of the progressive era, Rick Wakeman cut his teeth as a London session musician at the tail-end of the 1960s before earning star status as a member of prog rock superstars Yes in 1971. He left the band in 1973 to concentrate on his burgeoning solo career and within a few years had released a trio of ambitious, classical rock albums that proved highly successful: The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
