Album Reviews moM Steve Morse Band The Introduction Elecktra/Musician Records ★★★★ "I'd like to introduce ya'll to Steve Morse." With all the acclaim that Steve Morse has received over the last couple of years, includ ing being named guitarist of the year twice by Guitar Player magazine, he shouldn't need a lengthy introduction. But since most radio stations don't play his type of jazz/rock fusion, Morse remains an un known talent to the majority of the AM/FM listening public. But he should "meet" many new fans with this album. On "The Introduction" Morse plays much the same style of music that he did with the Dixie Dregs, his former band. It's gui tar-dominated rock, but it has some syncopated rhthvms and jazz chord progressions. And no vocals, which just about kills anv chances of airplav. "Cruise Missile," is the per fect title for the opening song on the album. Morse and the band flv along with a controlled power that seems readv to ex plode at anv moment. Some how they manage a disciplined frenzv; a wild vet tight sound. Bassist Jerrv Peek and drummer Rod Morgenstein provide a steady, though rapid-fire, beat that Morse's lead simply soars over. Morse shows some of his southern roots on "General Lee," with special guest Albert Lee, who has been voted best country guitarist in Guitar Player. This country-flavored number is just plain fun. Morse and Lee both supply great C&W leads to go over the boo gie-woogie rhythm section. "The Whistle," with its classi cal influences shows yet an other side of Morse's talent. It is an acoustic guitar piece with a flute-like synthesizer by Morgenstein that starts out soft, but builds and builds and builds and then...it's over. Morse deserves a round of It's guitar-dominated rock, but it has some syncopated rhthyms and jazz chord pro gressions. And no vo cals, which just about kills any chances of airplay. applause for his writing and, of •course, his performance. But he also should get credit for his un selfishness. Morse could have easy dominated the album but bv allowing Peek, Morgenstein and Lee to showcase their tal ents, he gives the album an added dimension. So, if vou'd like to meet a new friend introduce yourself to the Steve Morse Band. Album review by Peter Rocha. Album courtesy of Music Express.
