The Family Album
# The Family Album

The Family Album is a new-age album by Rick Wakeman for which he recorded a song for every member of his family including his parents, pets and even his computer.

Years later, after divorcing his wife Nina and the passing of his parents, Wakeman has stated he no longer listens to this album as it brings him sadness. The original vinyl edition of the album only contained 12 tracks in a different running order. "Wiggles", "The Day After The Fair" and Mackintosh" were omitted.
