Keyboards legend Rick Wakeman returns, with another album with his son, Adam: Wakenman With Wakeman, released
in 1992. Previously reviewed, Wakeman With Wakeman's
No Expense Shared.
Wakeman With Wakeman was the first collabaration of Rick and Adam. As much as Rick Wakeman is a terrific musician
himself, it is great to pass the torch to his son Adam (likewise he has another son, Oliver) who are just as musicially
talented.
"Lure Of The Wild" is quite the theatrical instrumental. Written by Rick Wakeman, it creates an incredible
sound, with his outstanding keyboards, and energetic sound. Speaking of sound, Rick Wakeman's "The Beach Comber"
slows down the pace, as it it has an almost Smooth Jazz style. Another incredible instrumental, by the legendary Rick
Wakeman, with his son Adam. Speaking of Adam, his "Megalomania" also shows his amazing keyboard talent. Like
father, like son. "Megalomania" is powerful, strong, and full of energy. "Raga And Rhyme" once again,
blends the amazing music written by Rick Wakeman, and the musical instruments that are heard in this New Age style.
New Age in it's most beautiful way is "Sync Or Swim," arranged and performed by Adam Wakeman.
"Jiggajig" has two pianos (obviously both father and son) - The pianos are a high reminder of another great
Rick Wakeman track, "Waterfalls" (from Country Airs [1992]). My question is, who is playing those really
fast keys? My guess would be Rick, by listening to "Waterfalls." "Caesarea" is another great New Age Rock track
(composed by Rick Wakeman). Likewise, RIck's "After The Atom" continues with more of the great New Age sound.
Adam's "The Suicide Shuffle" has him playing the organ on this track. It's moving, with it's great New Age Rock
style. "Past And Present" is also another Adam track; another beautiful rendition of piano and synthesizers
providing the way. The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black" ends the album, as it has been a favorite of Rick and
Adam, as they presented this song on their live performances. They put their own touch on the Stones classic, just as
Eric Burdon & War did.
Wakeman With Wakeman showcases that a father and son team can create an exceptional album. All of the tracks
are instrumentals, and it shows how musically talented the both of them are. The other album the recorded No Expense
Spared does have vocals (by Chrissie Hammond and Adam Wakeman). The keyboards and it's musical arrangements need
nothing other than the incredible instrumental sounds. Both father and son continue to record and tour, as Rick's
latest release was in 2025, Melancholia. He will be 77 years old in May. Adam has recorded solo albums
(1993-2021), four albums with Rick, as Wakeman With Wakeman, three albums as Rick Wakeman & Adam Wakeman,
four albums with Damian Wilson, and three albums as Jazz Sabbath, recording Black Sabbath songs in a Jazz style.
He has also collaborated on albums with his Dad, and others, such as Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. More of Rick
Wakeman's albums will be reviewed at later dates (obviously). Likewise both the sons of Rick, Adam and Oliver, And
Jazz Sabbath.
Experience the incredible sounds of Rick Wakeman, along with his son Adam, on Wakeman With Wakeman. Great
New Age instrumentals at their very best.
