A Fine Beginning 6 Mar 2006
Format:Audio CD
His first foray after the end of Dixie Dregs, this album finds Steve Morse in excellent form. Now playing with a more conventional guitar-bass-drums unit (including old cohort Rod Morgenstern), the material on "Intro" is broadly speaking much more guitar-rock orientated than anything the Dregs produced. Without the violin/keyboard axis of Allen Sloane and T Lavitz (although Lavitz does guest on the track Mountain Waltz), blues and country influnces predominate, and the tracks are tighter and more concise, but this allows the man more room to demonstrate just what he can do with 10 fingers and 6 strings.
Standout tracks include the typically exuberant opener, Cruise Missile; the deceptively low and lazy General Lee (with guest, fellow country axmeister Albert Lee); offbeat country rock number On The Pipe; and (my fave) the stunning title track The Introduction.
That said, I have one or two reservations. The album as a whole feels slightly hurried, and rather short (less than 35 minutes); and the overall sound is a little stretched, as though Steve hasn't quite grown into the extra space afforded by the slimmed down lineup.
However, these are minor quibbles, and if this album doesn't showcase the full scope of Steve's talents, it's because the man himself was still developing as a player. Not quite a five-star offering, but a clear signpost of greater things to come.

Format:Audio CD
Renewed, recharged, and full of fresh ideas, Steve Morse
composed this masterwork!His playing is deft, and spontaneous-
sounding.His co-horts ( ALBERT, Jerry, Rod,& T. )are up to the challenge,and-always welcome;"On the Pipe," is rock/country??
alt.-in a speedy context.Morse's lines are reminiscent of
Buddy Emmons chromatic forays, incl. vibrato & bending.From there, the album features Albert Lee -on one track-in all that
arpegiatted style of his;it's just amazing how Morse can
play that style with relative ease-and, adding his rock
touch, blow the roof off!!!His acoustic work is also a
benchmark. T. and Steve have a dialogue ,with a gorgeous syncopated folk melody. VHF is a legato-ish adventure.Steve's
smooth lines, coupled with nice volume-swells, is a tour de force of exceptional composing/playing.Can he play the blues?
Check out the blues-rock, of "Huron River...".Not a grandstand-
ing bit of playing to be found.The man has soul!One of the
best guitarists/composers -ever-on a roll... 5 STARS!!!!!
