JOHN WETTON Raised In Captivity (2011 UK 11-track CD album - In January 2011, with a brief break in between touring commitments for the 30th Anniversary of U.K. and a US Asia tour, he headed over to California to write and record with former Yes, World Trade and Yoso producer and multi-instrumentist Billy Sherwood. After intense studio recording work, Wetton emerged with a strong bunch of new songs which he describes as 'an Anglo-American music document, a true autobiographical journey'. Indeed 'Raised in Captivity' is a record that truly sums up several of the musical elements that have shaped Wetton's career. Firstly a lot of his former and current musical partners are appearing on this new album: Robert Fripp [King Crimson], Eddie Jobson [UK], Mick Box [Uriah Heep], Steve Hackett [Genesis], Steve Morse [Deep Purple] and of course Geoff Downes of Asia. Musically, the record intends to offer a more rocking aspect of Wetton's songwriting and performing abilities, akin to his now classic album 'Battlelines', though not forgetting his abilities to perform on majestic harmonies over symphonic musical tapestries – particularly poignant is his duet with Dutch singer Anneke Van Giersbergen on 'Mighty Rivers' the closing song of the album)
