Artist of the Day #15: James LaBrie James LaBrie is most known for his work with Dream Theater, joining the band for their 1992 smash hit album “Images and Words”, replacing former singer Charlie Dominici after differences stylistically, Mike Portnoy said of Dominici “It was like Billy Joel trying to sing for Queensrÿche.” James however was right up the band’s alley, looking for a singer like Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden fame. James did suffer an almost career ending injury in 1994, rupturing his vocal chords after throwing up due to severe food poisoning, although he finished that tour and since 2002 he has stated that his voice is at 100%. He has also worked on solo albums and took part in Aryeon, a collection of progressive rock and metal artists from many bands to work on albums, usually conceptual albums. Songs to Check Out: Pull Me Under, Scene Nine: Finally Free, Octavarium, Dark Eternal Night, Scene Five: Through Her Eyes, Wait For Sleep, Scarred, Take the Time, Another Day

Crystal Ball

“I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line

I used to think that everything was fine

Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams

All alone and trapped in time

All alone and trapped in time

I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me

Or am I even in it's mind at all

Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see

Soon as I find myself a crystal ball

Soon as I find myself a crystal ball

Tell me, tell me where I'm going

I don't know where I've been

Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me

And then tell me again

My heart is breaking, my body's aching

And I don't know where to go

Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me

I've just got to know

Crystal ball

There's so many things I need to know

Crystal ball

There's so many things I've got to know

Crystal ball

Crystal ball~”

Songs to Check Out: Long Train Runnin’, South City Midnight Lady, Takin’ it To The Streets, Dark Eyed Cajun Woman
