  This Album '''Poets and Madmen'''<br />( 2001 )


''Poets and Madmen'' is a '' to feature classic vocalist Jon Olvia on lead vocals for all songs after the amicable departure of Zack Stevens. It is also the first Savatage album to have long time rhythm guitarist Chris Caffery playing the majority of the guitar solos. The album has a loose concept based around real life journalist Kevin Carter , but has much less narrative in the lyrics than the previous two rock operas ('' Dead Winter Dead '' and '' The Wake Of Magellan '') Savatage recorded.
