Synposis
Guitarist Steve Howe keeps himself busier than ever in middle age with both recording and touring. In addition to his main job in Yes, he works occasionally with Asia and regularly releases solo albums. 2001's Natural Timbre is his first entirely acoustic studio project, and it's a rewarding blend of styles and influences. Over the course of 18 songs, Howe plays a variety of guitars, mandolins, basses, and other stringed instruments, and is joined on some tracks by violinist Anna Palm, multi-instrumentalist Andrew Jackman, or his son, drummer Dylan Howe. The progressive rock foundation of Natural Timbre is obvious, but new age, country, blues, jazz, and classical angles abound too. Guitar fanatics will love the liner notes, which include Howe's comments about each song and a detailed chart pinpointing the instruments he played on each one.
