Hackett says about the album: "My new rock album Wolflight is at the ready and lying in wait. It reflects everybody's struggle for freedom on a journey travelling through both inner and outer space.

"It explores sounds from as far afield as Greece, Azerbaijan, the deep American South, Sahara desert and beyond - from all our yesterdays, evoking the ancient past."

Guest musicians on the album include Roger King, Gary O'Toole, Nick Beggs, Rob Townsend, Amanda Lehmann, Malik Mansurov and Sara Kovaks. Yes bassist Chris Squire appears on the track Love Song To A Vampire, while Hugo Dagenhardt is behind the kit for Dust And Dreams.
