For a musician as talented as guitar maestro Steve Morse, there are no boundaries between genres; there is only his unique sound. On November 17, the Steve Morse Band will release a new studio album, "Out Standing In Their Field", via Eagle Rock Entertainment. This will also be released digitally on October 13.
Morse, who got his start in the
Dixie Dregs in the 1970s, has enjoyed a fruitful career, earning himself a reputation as a "
musician's musician." He's spent the last sixteen years shredding for the legendary
Deep Purple, in addition to fronting his own band. The release of "
Out Standing In Their Field" will be the 12th album to date for the
Steve Morse Band.
On this entirely instrumental album, Morse joins forces with bassist Dave LaRue and drummer Van Romaine to pound out un-tethered creativity. A multi-faceted blend of Morse's influences, "Out Standing In Their Field" is a diverse sound spectrum, twisting together elements of rock, country, jazz, funk and classical. Unencumbered by lyrics, Morse's guitar acts as a wailing, exploring siren, channeling emotion and raw power through the language of riffs. In addition to the ten brand new tracks boasted on "Out Standing In Their Field", the band threw in an extra treat: a live recording of their song "Rising Power". This bonus track invokes the goosebump-inducing power the Steve Morse Band conjures on stage.
