Cactus Choir is the first solo album by British keyboardist Dave Greenslade, released in 1976 soon after the disbandment of his own eponymous band, Greenslade. It is loosely based on a concept about the colonization of American West, and it features a simpler sound than previous Greenslade albums.[1]
The artwork for the album cover is by Roger Dean.
