Product Description

As founding member of the late sixties Philly rockers Nazz, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter and producer Todd Rundgren was barely in his 20 s when he began his long solo journey and became one of the music industry s most prolific and celebrated rock artists.

For his 5th album Todd, the legendary Todd Rundgren delivered a huge double album event complete with 17 stellar performances making this one of his most revered efforts of his four decade career. As with many of his solo albums, Todd played mostly all of the instruments, sang, wrote and produced this masterwork. The album also catapulted Todd Rundren s marquee as a singer/songwriter even further with his smash hit single A Dream Goes On Forever.

Album opener How About A Little Fanfare immediately brings the listener onto a hypnotic prog-rock journey as only Todd Rundgren can deliver. With solid tracks like I Think You Know, filled with exceptional guitar work, solid lyrical imagery and his soulful vocals, the artist truly pours it all out on this tune. More smashes abound as A Dream Goes On Forever sets the other three sides of this masterwork into full swing.

Known to write some very key ballads in his long career, Todd nails one of his finest ever with his brilliant Philly soul sound on The Last Ride. Soon to be followed with more hard rockers like his guitar driven Everybody s Going To Heaven/King Kong Reggae and the iconic Heavy Metal Kids, the future electronica of In And Out The Chakras We Go, the soulful pop of Izzat Love, and the superlative album closer Sons of 1984 all would go on to become Todd Rundgren staples and some of his most enduring work ever recorded.
