In 1989 a US singer sung one song on Mike Oldfield’s Album ‘Earth Moving’ called ‘Far country’. I always loved this song very much, because of Mark Williamson’s voice. I never heard other music with MW before or after, but I always had an eye on it … and tonight I ordered this solo album of him @ Amazon :o) … it’s from 1994 and i wonder how it is.
I read about him some years ago somewhere on the net that he was a singer in a gospel choir and made an album with the likes of TOTO in 1989, not as TOTO, but as ‘Bridge 2 Far’. Never heard, will be my next order then.
MW’s voice in ‘Far country’ is the most breathtaking male voice I ever heard and I feel like getting to know if all his music is kind of that quality. Superb vocalists are rare, always. I’m always happy to find some.
To be honest: ‘Far country’ is the only real highlight on that Oldfield album, so if you play with the thought of buying the album … forget it. But maybe you can buy the single track @ iTunes or somewhere?! This I would highly recommend.
