Emerson, Lake & Powell | Emerson, Lake & Powell [1986]

We are continuously knocked out by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and have been listening to them for decades. But both of us had never dived deep into Emerson, Lake & Powell. That being said, this is a really good album. Were we expecting Brain Salad Surgery? no... but it's a consistent and enjoyable album, and you basically have to consider it Keith Emerson and Greg Lake's last great work together. For that reason, it's a gem!

Emerson, Lake & Powell is the only studio album by English progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Powell, released on 26 May 1986 by Polydor Records.
The album's debut single was "Touch and Go" which peaked at number 60 on the Billboard charts on 19 July 1986. Cash Box called it a "thunderous, large scale rock drama."

The main synthesizer part of "Touch and Go" is based on the English folk tune "Lovely Joan". Another version of "Touch and Go" was recorded by Emerson, Lake & Palmer and is included in the box set The Return of the Manticore (1993).
