Major Impacts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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, fromHendrix to McLaughlin and then some, Morse crafts a song for each of hisheroes that encapsulates the essence of each artist's contributions to rockmusic.Backed by his talented tandem of bassist Dave LaRue and drummer VanRomaine, Steve takes us on a wild and varied trip that includes songsfeaturing the anthemic Southern sound of the Allmans, the power rock ofLeslie West, the crying slide of George Harrison, and the deftfingerpicking style of Jimmy Page.Also included are dead-on impressionsof Keith Richards and Roger McGuinn, and snippets of Jeff Beck, Steve Howe,Kerry Livgren and Alex Lifeson.There is also a simply gorgeous tribute toJohn McLaughlin on which bassist Dave LaRue goes fretless in counterpointto 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.Howmany discs do you own like that? I know I don't have many, if any.What'smost amazing is that Morse writes in the liner notes that he hopes to paytribute to other artists in the same fashion in the near future. Can'twait for more of this stuff.
