WilsonÆs █ █ vocals and WakemanÆs piano again work perfectly █ █ together. æRed SocksÆ is a tender song relating █ █ how a childhood memory of losing a treasured pair █ █ of red socks can still echo down the years. █ █ Wilson & Wakeman have an album here that can and █ █ should appeal to the masses, with a wide appeal █ █ musically and songs to love and cherish for years █ █ to come. █ ▓ ▓ ▒ ▒ ░ 1.
