Concerning my new solo album: because of the madness of life, and my busy schedule, I realized that the only way get a new solo CD out the door before I leave for the Dream Theater world tour would be to go into complete seclusion for 14 days.
But if someone asked me what kind of album this is, I would say a rock album, even though some of it is jazzy, some classical, some perhaps leaning toward Dream Theater.

Fortunately as Yes came on any disapointment soon dissipated, while the band were tuning tuning up, Rick Wakeman played a beautiful solo version of "Morning has broken." Steve Howe played his solo including the "infamous" Clap.
Then the beautiful "Meeting" with Rick and Jon from Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe album.
The encore "I've Seen All Good People" had everyone on their feet, a Yes set of one hour and twenty minutes a lot shorter than their usual 2 and a half to three hours but this was a charity concert and anxious faces at the break were full of smiles at the end.

Then Steve (Howe) pulls his pud briefly with his solo highlight "Sketches in the Sun", which would be decent if he didn't feel the need to pretentiously declare "A Solo Guitar Performance" on the lyrics sheet.

Howe chose to close out the album with acoustic treatments of three Yes songs, the most successful of which is "Your Move", bringing the project full circle to the first Yes album.
On Natural Timbre, Howe's 12th solo project, 18 acoustic performances (six of which are for solo guitar) are collected in one place and neatly framed in the context of Howe's mouth-watering collection of vintage guitars, providing the listener with a range of satisfying listening experiences.
As a contrast to the complex, lengthy, orchestral and often classical sounding arrangements to be found on the typical Yes album, his solo acoustic pieces help to break the pace a bit and offer the listener some refuge and release.
