5 stars In my last review ((#1609964) | Posted Sunday, September 11, 2016 ) , I said in others words which the great problem whit Howe's first solo album "Beginnings" be in the vocals parts... In "The Steve Howe Album" this problem almost disappear, because in this one Howe's vocals don't last more than 1 minute ! "The Steve Howe Album" is easily the better of Howe's discography and in my humble opinion ( I'm an amateur guitar player ) a masterpiece !!!! The track 1 "Pennants" ( starts with Howe's Fender Telecaster ( a customized model ) making a very brief introduction and immediately a pedal steel guitar arise and leads the main theme until the solo by initial telecaster a fantastic song with Alan White drums. Other moments when Howe played with a band as in track 3 "All's a chord" with a guitar miscellany ( steel acoustic, classical, pedal steel, sitar guitar, 6 strings banjo, mandolin and their favorite Gibson 175) and Patrick Moraz in acoustic piano and Bill Bruford on drums ( someone wants more ? ) and in track 5 " Look over Your Shoulder" with a bucolic introduction with Claire Hamill female vocals ( a folk singer / songwriter ) where I must detach the hammond - organ played by Ronnie Leahy and White's drums . Track 6 "Meadow Rag" is a country song played exclusively in a Martin 0018 guitar in approximate style of "Clap" , track 8 " Surface Tension" is a classical guitar solo and the absolute detach is track 9 "Double Rondo" with orchestra (simply fantastic). The album don't brings none weak track , my rate is 5 stars !!!
