Rick Wakeman recorded this album long ago; it's Rick's amazing interpretation of a stroll through the country. Rick recorded this beautiful album on a concert grand piano. Two companion albums (Sea Airs and Night Airs) were recorded by Rick on an electric piano. Perhaps for the sake of completeness, Rick then re-recorded Country Airs on an electric piano, and the result was, frankly, dire. There were extra tracks on the later version, but much of the emotional warmth and beauty of the original recording was lost. I believe Rick Wakeman himself has expressed regret regarding his decision to record 'Country Airs' on an electric piano. I would recommend the original recording - it's a piece of exceptionally beautiful piano music, and if you like light classical piano music, you'll love this. To be certain of getting the correct CD version: it has 10 tracks, was copyrighted in 2003, and published by Hallmark, code number 704262.Read full review
