Prog-Watch 729
My special guest on this week’s Prog-Watch is rock legend Dennis DeYoung (formerly of Styx)! Tune in to hear Part One of my artist feature, including some spirited conversation (and believe me, Dennis pulls no punches!) and lots of great Styx and solo Dennis DeYoung music!
Dennis DeYoung (born February 18, 1947) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and producer. Best known for being a founding member of the rock band Styx as primary lead vocalist and keyboardist, a tenure that lasted from 1970 until June 1999. DeYoung has been credited as the writer of more Styx songs than any other Styx member. He was also the band’s most successful writer, penning 7 of the band’s 8 Billboard top 10 singles as well as a solo top 10 single.
With Styx on hiatus for a time in the mid-1980s, DeYoung embarked on a solo career. He has nine studio and live album albums to his own name, including his latest, 26 East, Vol. 1, the first of a two volume pair.
