Not only did this album help pave the way for progressive rock, but it also
introduced the unbridled energy and overall effectiveness of the synthesizer as
a bona fide instrument. Six Wives gave Wakeman his chance to break away from the
other instrumental complexities that made up Yes and allowed him to prove what a
driving force the keyboard could truly be, especially in full album form. More
than just synthesized wandering, Wakeman astoundingly conjures up a separate
musical persona by way of an instrumental ode to each of Henry VIIIs wives
through his dazzling use of the Mellotron, Moog, and Hammond C-3 organ. For
example, Wakemans fiery runs and fortissimo thwarting of the synthesizer
throughout Anne Boleyn is a tribute to her feisty temper and valiant courage
that she maintained while standing up to her husband. With Jane Seymour, on the
other hand, Wakemans playing is somewhat subdued and gentle, which coincides
with her legendary meekness and frailty, as well as her willingness to cater to
Henry VIII. Wakemans masterful use of his synthesizers is instrumentally
stunning, as is his talent of magically shaping the notes to represent
behavioral idiosyncrasies of his characters. Yes bassist Chris Squire lends a
hand on Catherine of Aragon, while guitarist Steve Howe and drummer Bill Bruford
appear on a few tracks as well, as does former Strawbs member Dave Cousins,
playing the electric banjo. The Six Wives of Henry VIII unleashes the unyielding
power of the keyboard as a dominant instrument, but also displays Wakeman at the
beginning of an extremely resplendent career as a solo musician.~Mike DeGagne
