Glossolalia

Released: September 12, 2000

Steve Walsh's second solo album was a brand new sound ahead of its time. Steve's parts were recorded in Steve's home studio with Kansas crew member David Manion's help. David also did the digital editing, and the final mix was done by Steve's former bandmate in Streets, Mike Slamer.  Magellan's Trent Gardner along with his brother Wayne Gardner orchestrated many of the parts. Kansas and Streets member Billy Greer also appears as does drummer Virgil Donati. The album was produced by Steve Walsh and Trent Gardner and released on the Magna Carta label.
