Review (Wikipedia) : Rites of Passage is a live album by Roger Hodgson, recorded in 1996 near Hodgson's home in Nevada City, California. It was the last gig of several Californian dates in the summer of 1996. The album features three Supertramp hits, six songs by Hodgson (five previously unreleased), two songs written and performed as lead vocalist by Mikail Graham and one song written and performed as lead vocalist by Hodgson's son Andrew. The cover features the painting The Accolade (1901) by Edmund Blair Leighton.

Review (Muziekweb) : Roger Hodgson was waarschijnlijk de meest begaafde muzikant van Supertramp. Zijn karakteristieke stem en inbreng op het laatste Supertramp-album Some Things Never Change werd node gemist. Rites Of Passage is zijn nieuwe solo-album dat op 2 augustus 'live' werd opgenomen in de Miner's Foundry in Nevada City in Californië. Tijdens dit concert zong hij naast oude en nieuwe nummers ook Supertramp-klassiekers als Take The Long Way Home, The Logical Song en Give A Little Bit.
