Glass Hammer – Perilous (2012)

When Yes added Jon Davison of Glass Hammer as its new lead singer, that didn’t mean the end of his prog band. In fact, Glass Hammer is at work on a new album between legs of the on-going Yes tour in support of 2011?s Fly From Here — with Davison again on vocals.Yes has even allowed Glass Hammer albums to be sold at its most recent string of concerts, which resume on July 19, 2012. Every album that Davison autographs is another potential new fan for the grass-roots American prog-rock outfit, which is subsidizing its own new recording.

“He’s signing tons of Glass Hammer CDs at Yes shows,” bassist/keyboardist Steve Babb says on the band’sFacebook page, “and will be spreading the word on the upcoming tour. … It’s an honor and is definitely going to help get the word out.”

[SOMETHING ELSE! REWIND: Former Yes lead singer Benoit David says he was informed of his ouster from the band he’d fronted since 2008 through news reports.]

Guitarist Alan Shikoh has also been in studio since May with Babb and Davison, Babb says. Glass Hammer’s most recent lineup also included keyboardist Fred Schendel and drummer Randall Williams.

Davison made it clear, even as the news broke that he’s taking over for Benoit David as Yes’ lead singer, that he would continue to work with Glass Hammer — for whom he has sung on two albums since 2009, If and Cor Cordium.“Though I’m grateful and excited for this amazing opportunity, it will not jeopardize my involvement with Glass Hammer in any way,” Davison said, in a separate Facebook post. “I plan to steadfastly and enthusiastically continue with Steve, Fred, and Alan.”
