This album is Don Airey’s debut solo album, released in 1989 and paying tribute to the dramatic 1986 K2 expedition that took the lives of 13 extraordinarily experienced climbers. Featuring beautifully orchestrated keyboard-, guitar- and drum parts all of which are played by friends from bands from Airey’s past; ie. Gary Moore, Cozy Powell and Colin Blunstone on vocals complete this Prog-Rock anthem of an album. K2 – Tales of Triumph and Tragedy is a story told by music; intriguing and breathtaking.
