Styx – Come Sail Away
When Styx released their 7th Album, The Grand Illusion, their third on A&M records, they were still a relatively little known band. Previous to Come Sail Away, the first single released from the album, their biggest single was Lady from their Styx II originally released in 1972 on Wooden Nickel Records with the single released in 1974.
Come Sail Away written by the band keyboardist Dennis DeYoung reached the American Top 10 peaking at Number 8 early in 1978. He also was the vocalist of the song.
The single release of the song was a 3 minute 10 second version while the full version on the album is slightly over six minutes.
The Grand Illusion was the 2nd Album to feature their new guitarist Tommy Shaw.
