Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 1985, 'Silent Nights' was Rick Wakeman's first studio album after his departure from the band Yes. At this point in his career, he was exploring more personal and introspective themes within his music, moving away from the grandiose concepts of earlier works. This album followed his 1984 release ‘The Burning’ and marked a shift towards a more accessible sound.
