One with Everything (CD - 2006)

Styx: Tommy Shaw (vocals, guitar, mandolin); James Young (vocals, guitar); Lawrence Gowan (vocals, keyboards); Ricky Phillips (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, background vocals); Chuck Panozzo (bass guitar); Todd Sucherman (drums, percussion).

Continuing the grand tradition of hard-rock bands collaborating with full orchestras, the Styx live album, ONE WITH EVERYTHING, features the 1970s superstars with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra of Cleveland. Although original lead singer Dennis DeYoung possessed the Broadway-belter style that would have been perfect with this set-up, his replacement, second-string '70s Canadian rocker Larry Gowan, acquits himself well on this set of tunes, mostly written by guitarist and DeYoung foil Tommy Shaw, and therefore focusing on the anthemic, rocking side of the group's personality. minimize
