Francis Rossi
Francis Rossi's new album, ‘The Way We Were Vol. 1’, lifts the lid on the creative process that has seen him, over an extraordinary career, create some of the greatest Rock music ever. Francis Rossi says, “People say you just can’t recreate a demo; it’s a real moment in time often with a relaxed feel that comes across in the song. A chord sequence or an idea can really shine. Collected on this album are demo recordings that I really like, or even that I now think are better than the recorded versions that people know already, and some alternate takes that really work in this format. Every so often, I would hear these versions and just really feel that they deserved to be heard, and I hope that the fans like them as much as I do.”
