Steve Morse Review of "Major Impacts 2" @ iTunes By: Robert Silverstein fretboard master who's been tearing it up since the mid-'70s, guitar monster Steve Morse pays tribute to more of his big musical influences on his long awaited second Major Impacts CD. With able assistance by Dave LaRue (bass) and Van Romain (drums), Morse expertly tackles all the guitars, keyboards and various extraneous instruments on the thirteen track 2004 release. Fashioning these instrumental originals with major rock influences in mind-including The Who ("Where Are You?"), CSN&Y ("Wooden Music"), ELP ("Organically Grown") and Aerosmith ("Errol Smith")-Morse kicks the influence 'pedal-ing' into overdrive with further nods to classical master Bach ("Air On A 6 String") as well as genres like Cajun, Brit-Pop, Country Bluegrass and Celtic Ballads. A rocked-out, dynamic compliment to some of the greatest rock guitar legends, Major Impacts 2 is further explained by Morse in his praiseworthy liner notes. © Robert Silverstein / MusicWeb Express 3000 Wooden Music Where Are You?
