Last Man on Earth

A new and very efficient band, even though its musicians are only little influenced by the music of YES, ("Relayer" is one of the most adventurous albums issued by Jon ANDERSON's band in the Seventies), RELAYER allies the refinement of beautiful piano parts with a passionate energy. Their influences come from Progressive rock (KANSAS or RUSH), and from neo Progressive (MARILLION or NOW), this blend of sophistication and energy also evoking a kind of DREAM THEATER whose vocals would be sung by the leader of YES… Following "A Grander Vision" (1994), "The Teething Fashion" (1996) shows a very accessible and melodical music with a perfect interpretation. As for the excellent "Last Man On Earth" issued in 1999, it has a somewhat tougher style, but still keeps the basic characteristics.

"The Last Man On Earth" is the new solo album from Lee Small. Often compared to artists like Glenn Hughes & Bobby Kimball & Steve Walsh because of his melodic soulful voice, he has become an established artist throughout Europe & the U.K. Lee has been the voice of many named rock bands. He first came to light singing with Tom Galley's Phenomena project, a brand that has featured so many worldwide singers & musicians of the highest order, including Glenn Hughes, Mel Galley, Cozy Powell, Neil Murray, Ray Gillen, Keith Murrell, Scott Gorham, Tony Martin, Bernie Marsden & Brian May. As well as releasing four previous solo albums, Lee has done many projects & session work. This new album is a melodic rock feast in a classic style in the vein of Journey & Toto. It was recorded in London & Los Angeles & Texas during 2022.
