During the mid- to late '80s, talent scout and Shrapnel Records owner Mike Varney was the ultimate source for new high-tech guitar virtuosos in the post-Yngwie Malmsteen era (Malmsteen was also one of his finds). Among the dozens of young guns who emerged from Varney's stable, Greg Howe was one of the best. His debut album, Greg Howe, was groove-based, and favored funk and fusion flavors over gothic neo-classicism. It sounded fresh compared to the melodramatic work of peers like, say, Vinnie Moore. Front-loaded with two devastating tracks, "Kick It All Over" and "The Pepper Shake," Greg Howe is immediately engaging. Unlike other music in the note-heavy "shred" genre, these two pieces sound fun rather than academic; the irresistibly slippery grooves provided by the crack rhythm section of Atma Anur (drums) and Billy Sheehan (bass) provide a supple bed for Howe's playful fretwork. Unfortunately, the rest of the album falls off a bit after that. The remaining tracks have some interesting ideas and plenty of enthusiastic performances, but sound more like vamps for Howe's soloing than songs. A few premonitions of Howe's more fusion-based future reveal themselves on Greg Howe, although it's primarily a high-octane, indulgent rock romp. Worth hearing. ~ Andy Hinds

5 stars move over vinnie moore!
this album was a breath of fresh air when it was first released in 1988. those of us used to guitar virtuosity in a metal genre, had thought that the likes of vinnie moore, yngwie malmstein and others were the wave of the future. along comes greg howe to blow the lid off of the guitar playing world, with his unique style, and flare. and he has only gotten better as the years have passed. each disc he has produced ( including collaborations with ritchie kotzen), have progressed and showcased his unique talents. i suggest anyone who is a lover of instrumental or jazz, or even metal music, for that matter, give it a listen. you won't be disappointed.

5 stars GREAT
In 1987 Greg Howe was the jazz-metal shredder's first record for Shrapnel Records, that had never recorded anyone comparable to the Pennsylvania native. This potent release combines bluesy elements with Howe’s own incredible state-of-the-art technique. Laden with adventurous rhythm tracks from poll-winning bassist Billy Sheehan and progressive drummer Atma Anur, Greg Howe has become a mainstay of guitar fans everywhere. Howe is an extremely talented guitarist who plays blindingly fast on top-notch tracks such as "Bad Racket" and "Straight Up."
