Steve Morse Band – Split Decision

Steve Morse, I believe, doesn’t need an introduction. Regarded for a long time as one of the top axemen in the business, Steve’s solos and various techniques are certainly quite famous.

The title of the album comes from Steve’s willingness to do both heavier, band-type of music and more laidback stuff acoustic elements in it. So this album does take you in two different directions.

It would be hard to compare both these directions as they are so different.The heavier material encompasses these long complicated solos that only Steve Morse can play, while the more mellow songs present another completely different aspect of his music which is certainly not negligible.

For those of us who have been playing the guitar for so very long, it can be a bit overwhelming to hear this guy play things we can only dream of, but then again, it’s quite a dream.
