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!!!!!
