Gary Wright-"The Dream Weaver" (1975)

Gary Wright was a former member of a damn British band such as Spooky Tooth, a group with very bad luck but of enormous quality and with constant line-up changes, something that would prevent them from massive success.
After leaving the band Wright emigrated to the United States to try his luck, his first solo album was published in 1970, entitled "Extraction", which will be followed by "Footprint" (1971) and "Ring of Changes" (1972), but all They went completely unnoticed and in view of their failure, he would not publish anything else until 1975.
During all this time he would participate in recordings of other artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis, BB King, Ringo Starr or George Harrison.
That year of 1975 he would publish the great album "The Dream Weaver" with which he would finally achieve success, reaching a gold record and a top ten on the Billboard, demonstrating the great singer and fantastic keyboard player that he always was.
An album with a rather eclectic style, but where Wright's great voice and his great work on the keyboards stand out and where guitarist Ronnie Montrose or David Foster collaborate on the additional keyboards.
Later his "Love is Alive" would climb to number 2 on the charts to obtain other minor hits in the following years.
