A double-disc affair, Legends Of The Shires marks the first Threshold outing since November 1994 affair Psychedelicatessen to feature the vocals of Glynn Morgan, Glynn Morgan’s return having been confirmed on March 27th, 2017.
The album also features a guest appearance by one of Threshold’s founder members Jon Jeary, who contributes vocals to the track ‘The Shire (Part 3)’. Jeary was the band’s bassist and backing vocalist, and last performed with Threshold in 2002.
Speaking about his cameo, Jon Jeary commented: “I always look forward to hearing a new Threshold album and this time I’m doubly excited because Glynn will be singing and also, I am proud to say, there will be a small cameo vocal performance from me on ‘The Shire (Part 3)’. It’s great to be able to appreciate what Threshold do now as one of their faithful army of fans and a privilege to make a small contribution.”
