Question suggestions for listening to morse?

[the24thfret]

Need suggestions for listening to some Steve Morse. Never really heard anything recorded from him, but I want to start. What should I start off listening to?

 

[fogman]

looking for songs? or albums? or whatever?

 

[mark_tampa]

Early Morse, Dixie Dregs - Free Fall
Early Steve Morse Band - High Tension Wires
Latest Steve Morse Band - Outstanding in Their Field

At least my choices anyway...

Anything... just not his complete discography. I need to know where to start...

Gotta listen to Coast To Coast and Southern Steel, they rock, and twang, and are just great. Start there and you will be happy.

If I had to pick one Steve album it would be High Tension Wires. Ghost Wind is such an impressive piece of writing.

I like the tones on Out Standing in Their Field; that's heavy in my play-list rotation right now.

There are also some great clips of him solo and with Deep Purple on YouTube as well:

Have to agree. Those are the two I'd recommend to get started ... be prepared to be floored.

You can't go wrong with anything Steve has been involved with, but I agree with Izzy. High Tension Wires is a great place to start.

My two favorite songs are Vista Grande (Southern Steel) and On The Pipe (The Introduction)

Just start with any one album
The 4 I would reccommend to start with are

Southern Steel
Coast to Coast
High Tension Wires
The Introduction

Thanks for asking

On the Pipe just slays! The one that first sucked me in was "Sleaze Factor" (Southern Steel). Where he gets going at the end of the break in the middle ... man, some of my favourite Morse playing there.

I happen to like Major Impacts. Very interesting work on that album.

 

[robelinda2]

Runaway Train, killed me. Cabin fever, Long Lost, the Oz- all are great. Weekend Overdrive too.

 

[Colin]

get the new album it's great

 

[roburado]

That reminds me. I've just picked up "Out Standing in Their Field." Gotta rip it to the hard drive and the iPod so I can take it on the road.

It is really good the dropped D song (name dropping?) is a great song. Check him out live if you can that trio is amazing!

 

[Roubster]

Definitely Coast to Coast, Southern Steel, High Tension Wires, Out Standing in Their Field and also Split Decision is really awesome. Mechanical Frenzy is such a cool piece...you CANT go wrong with ANY of his stuff!!!

 

[robelinda2]

All his Deep Purple stuff is great too, the various live dvd's are great to watch.

 

[beej]

So what we're saying is buy everything Morse has ever done. I can get behind that.
