AND THE WHEELS KEEP TURNING

A second single from Tony Banks`s second solo album, "The Fugitive", from 1983.

"And the Wheel Keeps Turning" is another Pop Rock song from this album, a good song, with good rhythm and good drums by Steve Gadd. This song in particular reveals some of the limitations in Tony Banks`s vocals, but anyway it is a good song with a brief melody played in a keyboard which sounds like an harmonica, very similar as the one used in the "Another Record "song from Genesis`s "abacab" album from 1981. "And the Wheel Keeps Turning" has somewhat introspective lyrics about the passing of time and a lost love relationship.

The "B" side, with a song titled "Man of Spells" is more a "dark" song with "dark " lyrics. I still think that despite his limitations as lead singer Tony Banks sings well and that he really could have continued singing lead vocals in his solo albums.
