Roger Waters – NEWPORT FOLK CD

Following his departure from Pink Floyd in 1985, Roger Waters forged a bold solo career defined by unflinching political vision, theatrical ambition, and lyrical depth. His solo work, from The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (1984) to Amused to Death (1992), reaffirmed his status as one of rock’s most articulate storytellers. Waters’ continued commitment to humanitarian causes and innovative live productions has earned him critical acclaim and sustained his devoted global fanbase in the post-Floyd era.In the 2000s and 2010s, Waters experienced a powerful creative and touring resurgence. His monumental ‘In the Flesh’ and ‘Dark Side of the Moon Live’ tours drew massive audiences, while ‘The Wall Live’ became one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, combining breathtaking visuals with urgent social commentary. His 2017 album, Is This The Life We Really Want?, marked a return to studio form, delivering an introspective, politically charged work that resonated with a new generation of listeners.
