Guest stars on Corvus Stone albums I & II

CORVUS STONE love to work with many different singers and musicians. Why? 

This info originally appeared on a new Corvus Stone website - please check it out!

Because the unique input from everyone involved on a song or piece of music, means that we never repeat ourselves. We never fill gaps with ill thought out sections or lead breaks etc . Anyone who knows us, can tell you that our albums are long and dip into as many genres as songs on the album. Five years from now we will NOT say that we are   unhappy with anything we ever released.
Here is a list of everyone who has or will appear on albums I & II
Click on any pic to go directly to their site.
