Album of the Day

High Tension Wires, by Steve Morse (1989): Steve Morse is one of the most brilliant guitarists on the planet. So why does so much of his solo output seem to fly under my radar? I enjoy them enough when listening to them, but I'm not compelled to do that very often. The best of the batch I have is High Tension Wires, which Steve bills as his first "real" solo album (his other works were under the "Steve Morse Band" name, although most of his band mates appear here as well). There's some compositional diversity here that is lacking on other efforts. Not quite as much as in the Dregs days, however.
