Council Of Thirteen - Illusion [With Booklet]

"Illusion" is the 19th album by The Council of Thirteen. Featuring 14 new songs written by keyboardist/composer John W. Edwards. The title track is ELO-inspired with flourishes of keyboards and rushes of strings. "Vika's Gone Away" is an uptempo rock anthem about love that has been lost. "Phantom Of Love" continues that theme with a story of love that never quite disappears. "The First Time We Fell In Love" is a poignant reminder of when a love was new and exciting. "Don't Walk Away Tonight", an 80's style rocker and "Shadows On The Shore" is an R&B emotive ballad that is reminiscent of Otis Redding. A little something for all types of listeners, is the hallmark of all of The Council of Thirteen's albums. Stunning album imagery captures the essence of the music within. Promotional YouTube videos are available for "Vika's Gone Away", "Illusion" and "Phantom Of Love".
