Subtle writing interlaced with heavy metal riffs

"The first Steve Morse album I bought was Southern Steel. I find this work of his to be more explorative, diverse, and subtle, without so many heavy riffs, but still very satisfying."User Friendly" shows off his catchy tunewriting talent, while "Morning Rush Hour" is more about the guitar licks. The diversity is shown in songs like "Runaway Train," a solid rockabilly/bluegrass tune, and "Flat Baroque" which has a classical feel just as the name suggests.All this backed up by an incredible rhythm section including Dave LaRue on bass makes for a very interesting guitar solo album."

"Man can this guy play. There seems to be a song on this CD to please every Guitarist and I'm wondering if there is any style that Steve can't play. The best thing about it is that he plays with awesome feel and you just know that each note counts. Long Lost is my favourite track on this CD, it really highlights Mr Morse's amazing compositional skills. Think you're a good player/songwriter? Check this CD out and think again."
