Morse, Steve - Major Impacts

SKU 15-MAGNACARTA9042
"With "Major Impacts," guitarist extraordinaire Steve Morse pays loving tribute to axemen of the past and present who have most influenced him and helped shape his own unique style. From Page to Clapton, from Hendrix to McLaughlin and then some, Morse crafts a song for each of his heroes that encapsulates the essence of each artist's contributions to rock music. Backed by his talented tandem of bassist Dave LaRue and drummer Van Romaine, Steve takes us on a wild and varied trip that includes songs featuring the anthemic Southern sound of the Allmans, the power rock of Leslie West, the crying slide of George Harrison, and the deft fingerpicking style of Jimmy Page. Also included are dead-on impressions of Keith Richards and Roger McGuinn, and snippets of Jeff Beck, Steve Howe, Kerry Livgren and Alex Lifeson. There is also a simply gorgeous tribute to John McLaughlin on which bassist Dave LaRue goes fretless in counterpoint to Steve's mellow lyrical foundation. Every time I listen to this disc, what I at that time consider my favorite track on the disc changes. How many discs do you own like that? I know I don't have many, if any. What's most amazing is that Morse writes in the liner notes that he hopes to pay tribute to other artists in the same fashion in the near future. Can't wait for more of this stuff."-R. Moser
