All-star tribute to Pink Floyd’s 'Wish You Were Here' album

Pink Floyd’s 1975 album, Wish You Were Here is a musically and emotionally complex tribute to the band’s former leader, vocalist Syd Barrett, whose deteriorating mental health had caused the band to oust him in 1968. The album has become a touchstone for a generation of artists who sought to achieve the synthesis of multi-part suites, ballads and melodic rockers that Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason realized on this album.

Now, an all-star lineup of rock and metal musicians have gathered to recreate it. Still Wish You Were Here - due May 28 via Cleopatra Records - includes performances from keyboardist Rick Wakeman (YES), Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice, Rock Hall of Fame nominee Todd Rundgren, ex-Queensrÿche vocalist Geoff Tate, guitarist Joe Satriani, Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie, bassist Bootsy Collins, The Damned’s Rat Scabies, PiL’s Jah Wobble and more.

Still Wish You Were Here will be available on both CD in a six-panel deluxe digipak and a gatefold vinyl in a variety of colors. Pre-order the album: https://orcd.co/still_wish_you_were
