Stve Howe

True believers in the prog rock gospel don't really need to know anything about this disc beyond the fact that it's a solo album by Yes, Asia, and GTR alumnus Steve Howe. Prog rock agnostics will be a bit more wary, but may take comfort from the power-trio instrumentation and from the presence of bassist Tony Levin, who is the very Buddha of taste and professionalism…

Yes guitarist Steve Howe with the seventh edition of his Homebrew album series. Homebrew 7 marks the 25th anniversary of the guitar legend’s first album in his Homebrew collection. The Homebrewseries typically features recordings from Steve Howe’s home archive of demos and tracks, originally recorded for one of his many solo or group projects with Yes, Asia, ABWH or GTR. Homebrew 7 differs slightly as none of the tracks have previously been released inany form and there are no plans for any to be rerecorded in the future. “Many are things I’ve enjoyed saving until the right moment,”says Howe, “and the Homebrew series allows this. Some tracks have matured with my nurturing but others have been recently rediscovered.” This collection includes tracks from the late seventies through to 2016 in Howe’s extensive range of playing styles. Each of the 21 tracks is dated and accompanied by Howe’s background notes and details on instrumentation. Most of the tracks are Howe’ssolo recordings with occasional contributions from Dylan Howe and Virgil Howe on drums with Phil Spalding on bass guitar (Half Way).

File under "Yes." When this version of the band couldn't obtain rights to the name, they put their album out under their combined names, but it's still Yes by any other name. Jon Anderson's tenor wails through spacy lyrics, Rick Wakeman constructs cathedrals of synthesized sound, Steve Howe rips high-pitched guitar leads, and Bill Bruford makes his drums sound like timpani…

24 tracks compilation from the legendary Yes guitarist. Features some of his finest solo recordings including "Seraphin", "Voyagers", "Quantum Guitars" and "Natural Timbre".

For nearly 35 years, Steve Howe has been at the forefront of guitarists in popular music. Actually, simply referring to Howe as a just a guitarist is limiting. In addition to being a songwriter he plays more instruments than just the guitar. If it has strings and a fretboard, Howe has mastered it and recorded with it at some point on one of countless albums he's been a part of as a group member, solo artist and special guest…

Carlos Santana seemed to kick off an early-21st century music industry craze – by combining a crusty classic rock veteran with other star-studded talent (as evidenced by Santana's highly commercial yet mega-hit Supernatural). On first glance, it appears as that longtime Yes guitarist Steve Howe also followed this guideline to a degree with his 2003 solo release, Light Walls…

Before joining Yes, Steve Howe had nearly a decade's worth of experience with other groups under his belt. This is a first-rate 25-track compilation of his '60s work, with six previously unreleased cuts, starting in 1964 with the raw R&B/beat band the Syndicats, moving to soul-mod with the In Crowd, psychedelia with Tomorrow (six of the better tracks from their sole LP are included), and progressive rock with Bodast…

For those expecting epic prog riff rockers à la "Heart of the Sunrise," Steve Howe's 2002 solo release, Skyline, may come as a surprise…

Le nom de Gordie Howe, avec ceux de Bobby Orr et de Wayne Gretzky, est souvent avancé pour désigner le meilleur joueur de l’histoire du hockey. Howe a si bien et si durablement marqué son sport qu’il a été surnommé, en toute simplicité, «Monsieur Hockey»! …
