Description
Phoenyx was a pioneering Celtic Fusion band. They exploded into the San rancisco Bay Area music scene in 1989. Their original songs (often written by Heather Alexander) told magical stories of Celtic lore, with a sound rooted in the folk-rock tradition.
For decades, fans have wanted this album back in print. We’re so grateful to all five of the former members of Phoenyx for allowing this dream to come to life:
- Heather Alexander: lead vocal, guitar, electric violin, mandolin… now reborn as Alexander James Adams
- Cat Taylor: electric violin, bodhran, vocals
- Mark Ungar: lead vocals, lead guitar, pennywhistle
- Larry the O: acoustic and electronic percussion, vocals — and producer/engineer of Keepers of the Flame
- John Land: bass, flute, vocals
Beyond all the songs of the original, this new edition features a 24-page color photobook, with never-before-shared, professionally retouched band photos.
