The Steve Morse Band - Stand Up

The Steve Morse Band
Stand Up
Genre: Rock

Highlights:
English Rancher


Frampton guests on one track but you know who really should be here? Brian May. This is the exact kind of stuff he couldn’t do with Queen but would’ve excelled at. 
The cornucopia melange that dotted the last album is back. You can’t contain Morse. There is no style that he won’t tackle and make look easy. It’s a little heavy on the RennFair instrumentals for my liking. 
The guy just knows how to play. 
Here’s how I see Steve. He’s a guy who everyone knows can do anything so he can be called upon to fill-in or replace any axe man in a heartbeat. And, if he’s not doing that, he’ll just put together a bunch of guys and go play a beer fest or a cruise line. He don’t care. Pay him. He’s good and he can deliver the goods.
