Major Impacts was an interesting idea pitched to Steve Morse: paying tribute to the myriad of bands, players, and musical styles that have influenced him not by doing covers, but by recycling the riffs and feel of those influences and crafting Morse originals out of them. No surprise, Major Impacts, Vol. 2 is more of the same, though with some choices that may surprise people. "Wooden Music" does a great job of evoking Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young with nice acoustic playing and harmonized guitars. His tribute to the music of the British Invasion starts with a Hollies 12-string intro and ends up somewhere near "Itchycoo Park," and "Where Are You" is a well put together tip to the Who, where drummer Van Romaine does a good Keith Moon. "Organically Grown" supplies the bombast of ELP and "Abracadabra" has the quirky construction of post-Peter Gabriel Genesis. The somewhat surprising choices are the Bach-esque piece "Air on a 6 String" and the country-western/bluegrass hoedown "Tri County Barn Dance." Morse's salute to Enya and the Celtic ballad is right on target: superficially pretty yet ultimately bland, and the only real misstep on the album. Major Impacts, Vol. 2 really shows what a versatile player Morse is, and why he's been a member of bands as disparate as the Dixie Dregs, Kansas, and Deep Purple. ~ Sean Westergaard
Recorded at MOR Studios, Florida and The Fallout Shelter, Brooklyn, New York. Includes liner notes by Steve Morse.

In a world where many brilliant guitarists keep trying to smooth out to get more airplay, it's reassuring to know that there's still room for wild, jamming, and magnificently noisy projects whose tough-minded edges guitar students can drool over.

It was widely assumed that when vocalist/songwriter Jon Anderson left Yes at the end of the '70s, the band was doomed. Most folks forgot that bassist/composer Chris Squire was the other founding member of the band, and he had as much to do with their sound as Anderson. It was surprising enough when the band decided to continue with a new vocalist and keyboardist. It was even more surprising when the new members turned out to be Trevor Horn (later a famed pop producer) and Geoff Downes (who would soon depart with Steve Howe for Asia). And it was downright shocking when the resultant album DRAMA turned out to be a great one.

On its second Sub Pop album, DESCENDED LIKE VULTURES, the San Francisco quartet Rogue Wave makes a notable departure from its debut, OUT OF THE SHADOW. While the earlier disc has an airy, lo-fi sound that's enhanced by subtle electronics, much of VULTURES is amped-up indie-rock bolstered by dense arrangements. ...

Major Impacts, Vol. 2 album

With the CD issue of the studio recordings by Willie and the Poor Boys -- former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman and a host of the most enduring session and touring players in British rock music history -- listeners get to reconsider not only the songs themselves, a smoking batch of early rock & roll, country, R&B, and even soul recordings, done in a loose but expertly played fashion, but the root of rock & roll itself as played and felt during its golden age. But these yobs are no mere archivists. They were out to have a ball and let the music speak for itself. These tunes are not terribly concerned with authenticity. But they are with the spirit of the thing These were not recordings made to bring some new light to bear on nuggets of rock and soul's golden age. They are what they are: a slew of amazing songs played by a great amalgamated and ever-rotating group who could care less about showing off their individual chops, but are content with getting together and playing the music that drew them in the first place. As such, it works here shockingly well. Paul Rodgers' vocals on Otis Redding's "These Arms of Mine," and Little Richard's "Slippin' and Slidin" (with killer roots guitar work from Jimmy Page). are among the most convincing of his career. Likewise, moody rocker Chris Rea's vocal read of "Baby, Please Don't Go" is astonishing. Geraint Watkins, known by many as Van Morrison's keyboard ace (and producer of Tres Chicas) turns ...
