Info for Brother Where You Bound (Remastered 2026)

Brother Where You Bound, released in May 1985, marked a decisive moment in the band’s timeline. It was the first studio album following the departure of founding member Roger Hodgson, leaving Rick Davies as the sole principal songwriter and vocalist. The album reached No. 20 in the UK and No. 21 on the US Billboard 200, anchored by the single Cannonball, a Top 30 hit that maintained the band’s chart presence during a period of structural change.

Beyond its commercial metrics, the album is defined by its ambitious title track, a 16-minute composition drawing on Cold War themes and incorporating excerpts from George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. The recording features contributions from notable contemporaries, including David Gilmour on guitar and Scott Gorham, reinforcing its alignment with progressive rock traditions at a time when the band’s earlier work had leaned toward accessible pop structures.

Supertramp
Once upon a time in 1969, a young Dutch millionaire by the name of Stanley August Miesegaes gave his acquaintance, vocalist and keyboardist Rick Davies a genuine opportunity to form his own band; he could form the band of his dreams and Miesegaes would pay for it. After placing an ad in Melody Maker, Davies assembled Supertramp.

Supertramp released two long-winded progressive rock albums before Miesegaes withdrew his support. With no money or fan base to speak of, the band was forced to redesign their sound. Coming up with a more pop-oriented form of progressive rock, the band had a hit with their third album, Crime of the Century. Throughout the decade, Supertramp had a number of best-selling albums, culminating in their 1979 masterpiece, Breakfast in America.

Breakfast in America marked their first album that tipped the scale completely in the favor of pop songs; on the strength of the hit singles Goodbye Stranger, Logical Song, and Take the Long Way Home it sold over 18 million copies worldwide. After that album, Supertramp continued to develop a more R&B-flavored style; the change in direction was successful on 1982's Famous Last Words, but they soon ran out of hits. The band continued to sporadically record and tour into the '90s. (Source: Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide)
