Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Howe

In this episode, Desi Serna is joined by friends and fellow guitarists Matt Reviere and Jon "HW" Sullivan for a lively discussion about one of the most debated solos of the 1980s — Steve Howe's guitar solo in "Heat of the Moment" by Asia. The trio breaks down why the solo doesn't quite hit the mark, exploring its phrasing, tone, and fit within the song. Along the way, they take a deep dive into Steve Howe's legendary work with Yes, examining how such a brilliant player could deliver something that feels so out of place. Then things get creative — each guitarist reveals and plays a replacement solo they composed themselves, reimagining what the song could sound like with a stronger melodic statement. It's equal parts music theory, guitar nerdery, and good humor between three friends who love to analyze and play great guitar music.

We sit down with STEVE MORSE and his brand-new album, "Triangulation"

1982 saw supergroup Asia reach the top of the charts with their self-titled debut which would go onto be the #1 selling album in the US that year. Smash hit Heat of the Moment hit #1 on the rock charts and so Geffen pushed them back into the studio for 1983's follow up Alpha which went platinum. To take advantage of this momentum, Geffen Records put together Asia in Asia in late 1983 - the first satellite concert broadcast via MTV in Japan. Clearly this success should have continued into the mid-80s. However, cracks were forming. The Alpha album was rushed and though the tour was successful, singer John Wetton was behaving badly. So with 6 weeks until the Asia in Asia broadcast, he was replaced by Greg Lake (who played with drummer Carl Palmer in Emerson Lake & Palmer). Though the tour and broadcast was a success, Greg didn't fit and eventually John was welcomed back. In early 1984, they began working on their 3rd album, Astra, but again problems arose. John demanded that legendary guitarist Steve Howe be dismissed and they eventually carried on with Swiss guitarist Mandy Meyer (not Mandy Moore). However, between the missing Steve Howe guitar pieces and the fact that music had changed since the summer of 1982, Astra was not the hit Geffen was hoping for. We examine all that went on in the Asia camp during this time and go track by track on Astra as it turns 40. Go was a bit of hit with a big budget video but the album couldn't break the top 60. Though standouts like Hard On Me and Too Late harken back to the original Asia sound, some songs are a bit soft and are lacking that key guitar ingredient that led to their success. John Wetton's voice is incredible and Geoff Downes lays down some amazing, melodic keys but there is a reason this fals short of their first two records.

Ouverture d'émission par un hommage, encore...Cette fois, c'est John Lodge, le bassiste des MOODY BLUES qui s'en est allé tutoyer les étoiles ce 10 octobre, il avait 82 ans. S'il n'en était pas membre fondateur, il était très vite devenu un élément essentiel suite à un changement de personnel deux ans seulement après la création du groupe qu'il rejoindra avec Justin Hayward en 1966. La musique classique s'invitera dans les compositions et arrangements de Moody Blues, direction les routes de ce qu'on appellera plus tard... le rock progressif. Extrait dans ce numéro de l'album "To Our Children's Children's Children" paru en 1969 et un titre fort à propos et composé notamment par John... Puisque nous sommes dans les légendes de sa Majesté, un certain PAUL MCCARTNEY, certes le Grand Maca ne fait pas spécialement dans le rock prog, mais c'est un touche à tout, et c'est en réécoutant cette semaine son album "Chaos And Creation In The Backyard" (l'un de mes préférés ! ) que j'ai eu envie de partager un extrait avec vous et j'ai choisi un titre somme toute, pas complètement hors de propos ici... Un (petit) YES, pour se faire plaisir avec un extrait de l'album "TORMATO" paru en 1978, dont la pochette n'est pas (pour la 2ème fois consécutive) attribuée à Roger Dean mais à Hipgnosis, célèbre collectif de graphistes anglais avec le fameux Storm Thorgerson. Mais le rendu n'était pas à la hauteur des attentes du groupe, puisque la légende veut que son claviériste Rick Wakeman mécontent du visuel proposé, lui jettera une tomate (sur le visuel, pas sur Storm ! )  L'album qui devait s'intituler "Yes Tor", deviendra un mix de "Tor" et de "Tomato" (tomate) et la pochette conservera le graphisme original gratifié de la solanacée écrasée...Yes qui par ailleurs est en pleine tournée américaine pour célébrer l'album "Fragile" et dont son vétéran, le guitariste Steve Howe, s'apprête à publier un EP vinyle en tirage très limité (qui devrait toutefois sortir sur les plateformes) consacré à Bob Dylan... En parlant d'Hipgnosis, on associe forcément ce nom à PINK FLOYD dont la quasi intégralité du catalogue est signé de cette boite mythique ! Et quand deux mythes se rencontrent : un visuel parfait pour représenter l'absence, thème d'un album majeur (voire pour beaucoup le meilleur) du Floyd, on obtient "Wish You Were Here". Vous le savez, depuis la fin de saison dernière on revient sur cet album dans l'ordre des morceaux. Depuis la rentrée nous en sommes à la face B et dans ce numéro c'est au tour de  la chanson-titre d'être mise à l'honneur. Fans du groupe préparez vous à mettre la main à la poche, depuis que Sony s'est offert le catalogue des anciens de Cambridge, ils doivent chercher à rentabiliser leur investissement ! Bref, une nouvelle édition spéciale 50 ans paraîtra le 12 décembre prochain sous différent formats (CD, digital, LP, Blu-ray, coffret) avec des démos et versions inédites (en plus des quelques unes déjà parues dans la réédition de 2011) et un bootleg live à Los Angeles de 1975 restauré et remixé par un certain... Steven Wilson... Je parlais de musique classique intégrée au rock des Moody Blues, ce qui fut la même tendance chez leurs collègues du BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST qu'on réecoute toujours avec beaucoup de plaisir, ici avec un extrait de leur 2ème opus "Once Again" ce qui nous amène à l'année 1971... Pour limiter ce vertige temporel, quelques anglais contemporains mais également talentueux comme NICK FLETCHER considéré par un certain Steve Hackett (Genesis) comme le meilleur guitariste rock/jazz du Royaume de Sa Majesté, rien que ça ! Il faut dire que Nick nous entraine dans une fusion efficace, ici autour d'un concept à propos de "La Persona", théorie du psychiatre suisse, Carl Jung selon laquelle un individu présente un visage social au monde pour donner une certaine impression et cacher sa vraie nature, ce qui donne pour titre à cet album concept :"The Mask Of Sanity". C'est tout nouveau et fort recommandé par votre serviteur (qui fait de la radio pour éviter de mettre un masque ! )      Il n'y a pas que les anglais dans la vie ! La Pologne par exemple nous gratifie de belles formations rock prog que vous pouvez parfois entendre dans cette émission ! Ainsi PINN DROPP qui vient de publier son 4ème album (après un EP numérique à leur débuts en 2017). "For The Love Of Drama" est le titre de cette galette toute chaude, et là encore c'est un régal pour les cages à miel ! Et puis l'Italie, avec RANESTRANE, ce groupe formé en 1998, inspiré par leurs aînée Goblin ou PFM mais aussi par les cousins britanniques Genesis ou Marillion... Marillion dont deux représentants (le guitariste Steve Rothery et le chanteur Steve Hogarth) ont ramené leurs talents sur l'album inspiré de Stanley Kubrick et son "2001, L'Odyssée de L'Espace". Ici extrait du 1er volet de la trilogie consacrée à l'œuvre Kubrickienne  : "A Space Odyssey Vol.1", paru en 2018 avec la guitare de Mr Rothery sur le titre diffusé ce soir...    En France, nous ne sommes pas en reste avec deux générations dans ce numéro. Celle de ANGE, avec un 2ème extrait du tout nouvel album fort réussi "Cunégonde", album qui sera entièrement présenté au cours de la saison ! Pendant ce temps là, le groupe poursuit sa tournée "Quitter la Meute", vérifiez les dates près de chez vous. Pour notre belle région, il faudra attendre le 13 février 2026 (Tours) ou le mois de mars pour la Bretagne mais on en reparlera d'ici là !  Enfin, l'espoir de voir briller le rock progressif français passe aussi par la jeune génération et je mise notamment beaucoup sur "PLEDGE OF HEALING" dont "One Step Closer" le 1er album a fait les belles soirées d'Amarok en 2023. Fondé par Claire et Cyril, le projet ne peut et ne doit pas en rester là ! La bonne nouvelle c'est que le groupe est entré en résidence et semble avoir du boulot sur la planche...Tant mieux, je ne sais pas vous mais j'espère et rêve de connaître une suite discographique à l'aventure....       Thierry Joigny Chaque jeudi, à 20h Suivez Amarok sur Facebook également sur Instagram

Welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends brought to you by my new novel ‘The Liberty Code”, available at book baby, amazon and on audiobook at barnesandnoble.com.  Annie Haslam  and Jim McCarty will be sharing an intimate discussion and visual presentation for the band history of  Renaissance followed by a Renaissance performance featuring, for the first time, members of both eras of the band performing their classic songs together. Renaissance had their farewell tour last October 2024 and did not expect to perform live again. Annie, who's been at the forefront of the group's story for 50 years, recently was approached by an Edwardsville/St Louis promoter to return to the Wildey Theatre for a ‘one woman” show! After much deliberation, the idea grew into something bigger when Annie contacted Jim McCarty to be a part of the show and then return to the full Renaissance lineup, the band he, initially, co-founded. A once in a lifetime event of Symphonic Rock at its finest! "All Renaissance and McCarty fans are invited to experience our coming full circle," Annie says enthusiastically, “that was destined to happen one day!"  PLEASE WELCOME TWO MUSIC LEGENDS…  Two of my favorite people ….Jim McCarty of Renaissance, Box of Frogs and original drummer and founding member of  The Yardbirds and Annie Haslam legendary songstress of symphonic rock's Renaissance to Interviewing the Legends.   FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT JIM McCARTY AND ANNIE HASLAM Visit www.jamesmccarty.com Jim McCarty Official website https://www.theyardbirds.com/ The Yardbirds Official site https://www.facebook.com/jim.mccarty.9/ Jim McCarty Facebook www.jamesmccarty.com/my-new-book-is-now-available/ Jim McCarty Author https://anniehaslam.com/annies-welcome-page/ Annie Haslam Official Website https://renaissancetouring.com/ Renaissance Official Website www.facebook.com/RenaissanceTouring Facebook www.twitter.com/MysticAndMuse Twitter www.youtube.com/user/RenaissanceTouring YouTube   SHOW SCHEDULE Friday, Nov. 21 The Wildey Theatre, Edwardsville, IL (St. Louis) www.cityofedwardsville.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=672 Saturday, Nov. 22 The Wildey Theatre, Edwardsville, IL (St. Louis) www.cityofedwardsville.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=673 Friday, Nov. 28  The Newton Theatre, Newton, NJ https://skypac.org/the-history-of-renaissance/ Saturday, Nov. 29 Lansdowne Theatre, Lansdowne, PA http://www.etix.com/ticket/p/81373625/the-history-of-renaissance-featuring-annie-haslam-and-jim-mccarty-lansdowne-lansdowne-theate   THE YARDBIRDS DISCOGRAPHY Five Live Yardbirds (1964, UK) For Your Love (1965, US) Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds (1965, US) Yardbirds (aka Roger the Engineer) (1966, UK) Over Under Sideways Down (1966, US) Little Games (1967, US) Birdland (2003)   BOX OF FROGS Box of Frogs (1984) Strange Land (1986) STAIRWAY Aquamarine (1987) Moonstone (1988) Chakra Dance (1989) Medicine Dance (1992) Raindreaming (1995)   JIM McCARTY SOLO Jim McCarty has released three solo albums: Out of the Dark (1994)  Sitting on the Top of Time (2009) Walking in the Wild Land (2018)  He has also released live and compilation albums  Jim McCarty & Friends (2011)  and Frontman (2014)   RENAISSANCE DISCOGRAPHY Studio albums Year  Title 1969 Renaissance 1971  Illusion 1972  Prologue 1973  Ashes Are Burning 1974  Turn of the Cards 1975  Scheherazade and Other Stories 1977  Novella 1978  A Song for All Seasons 1979  Azure d'Or 1981  Camera Camera 1983  Time-Line 2001 Tuscany 2013 Grandine il vento Live albums Year  Title  Chart positions   Comments 1976  Live at Carnegie Hall 2002 In the Land of the Rising Sun: Live in Japan 2001 2011  Renaissance Tour 2011 – Turn of the Cards and Scheherazade & Other Stories Live in Concert (DVD and double CD set) 2016 Renaissance 2012 (recorded April 16, 2015) – Renaissance Live at the Union Chapel (DVD and digital only audio set) 2016 Renaissance Live at the BBC Sight & Sound (DVD and 3-CD set) ―      ―      ―          Contains radio/television broadcasts of three live concerts, one each from the years 1975-77.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius After the emergence online of another Drama Tour video - with sound - by James Ferrani on YouTube, Mark and I took a careful look at his 2 videos from consecutive days on the 1980 Drama Tour that featured Buggles men Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes. There are at least 2 revelations contained in the videos that I don't believe any Yes fans except those who attended the concerts in North America have experienced in the intervening 45 years. I knew they had happened but seeing them is quite remarkable. Stay tuned for our discussion, watch the videos below and leave us a comment while you are here. What are the unique aspects of these videos? Was Chris Squire a bit 'under the weather'? Who looked more comfortable - Downes or Horn? See if you agree with us and then leave a comment below. https://youtu.be/SgWu1NIJjss?si=8MuF1WPc9GkhjqTr https://youtu.be/uIbcQTITKOc?si=qwByx3z5-La8Xt0F Steve Howe Press Release Fans will be happy to know that to follow up the release of ‘Portraits Of Bob Dylan' on 12th September, Steve Howe will issue ‘Signals Crossed', an E.P including three previously unreleased interpretations of Bob Dylan songs. It will feature ‘I Want You', ‘One Too Many Mornings' and ‘Mama, You`ve Been On My Mind'. It will include appearances by Geoff Downes, Dylan Howe, Stephanie Sounds and Paul K Joyce. The EP will be available as a white vinyl 10” – one sided and mirror backed – limited to 500 copies worldwide.   It will also be available as a download.   It will be released on 5th December 2025.   You can pre-order the vinyl here:  https://lnk.to/joLdy9 Steve Howe: “I recorded 'I Want You' before starting the released ‘Portraits Of Bob Dylan' tracks, then I recorded two alternative versions of songs from the album in different styles. This version of 'One Too Many Mornings' wasn't in the right key for Phoebe Snow, who sang beautifully to an acoustic version on the released album. This version gives it an electric setting, taking a little from Bob's 'Hard Rain' version. I sang ‘Mama, You've Been On My Mind' on the original release, slow and a little mournful but here has a more upbeat and optimistic flavour.  With the vocal harmonies and Dylan's drumming, these tracks retain the mood of what I wanted to explore in 2000, songs about getting your Signals Crossed”  Track Listing: 1.    I Want You 2.    One Too Many Mornings 3.    Mama, You've Been On My Mind. Steve Howe: “What I loved about it was having the chance to arrange them as I wasn't going to copy what Dylan had done; I wanted to bring a little bit more to it.”  Steve Howe:  “The ‘Portraits' idea was always a sort of pipe dream, and I originally
recorded one song to start the project, and I thought, this will be good, I'll do lots of Bob” Preorder the Barry Plummer 2026 Calendar!

Guitar legend Steve Howe (Yes, Asia) returns to Now Spinning Magazine for the 3rd time! to go deep on the new reissues of Portraits of Bob Dylan (1999) and Natural Timbre (2001). We discuss how he chose the songs, why he avoided the obvious Dylan hits, arranging with taste (and restraint), performances with Jon Anderson, Annie Haslam, PP Arnold, Phoebe Snow, Allan Clarke, Max Bacon, Keith West, and the elegant drumming of Dylan Howe.We also explore the acoustic architecture of Natural Timbre—fingerstyle breakthroughs (“Dream River”), sequencing as storytelling, and knowing when to put the brushes down. Plus: Steve hints at a new Dylan-related EP, Signals Crossed, bringing the Portraits spirit into the present.Phil Aston | Now Spinning Magazine

Steven talks about his recently acquired vinyl copy of Nexus, an album by Steve Howe and his son the late great Virgil Howe. Give this music a spin on what would have been Virgil's 50th birthday.

Always a pleasure to have Steve Howe on the podcast. The Yes guitarist joins me this time to discuss a couple of reissues from his solo back catalogue; “Natural Timbre” and “Portraits of Bob Dylan”. The former being an all acoustic record, and the latter being, as you may have inferred, a Dylan covers album. It was a nice excuse to talk about Dylan, and solo albums in general. I, of course, also take the opportunity to catch up on the things in the Yes camp, including their forthcoming tour playing the classic album “Fragile” in full. Enjoy. Instagram: @sendingsignalspodcast

We review the reissued Steve Howe solo albums Portraits of Bob Dylan (1999) and Natural Timbre (2001). Between the two of these albums, featured musicians include Dylan Howe, Jon Anderson, Geoff Downes, Annie Haslam, Andrew Pryce Jackman, and more!

When Jimi Hendrix grabbed a bass and jammed with Tomorrow in 1967, a young Steve Howe was right The post Steve Howe: Dylan, Hendrix & YES appeared first on The Strange Brew .

We at The Wolf are excited to present our 250th episode of UAWIL and want to take a moment to thank all our loyal listeners & social media followers. Building this show and the community of fellow rock fans has been such a fun and sometimes magical adventure around the world these past 5 years. We want to express our sincere thanks for coming on the journey with us. Also, we like to do big guests on our 50th shows - Ryan Condal EP of House of the Dragon Ep 50, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets live (after welcoming Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt on earlier to promote the show) Ep 100, Steve Kilbey of The Church Ep 150 and Steve Howe of Yes Ep 200. And we are proud to welcome one of rock music's most celebrated and contracted cover artists, Hugh Syme. Hugh is best known for his work with Rush over 50 years as their first collaboration, Caress of Steel, is 50 this year. We learned from Hugh first hand how his original piece of art was given the sepia tone at print which we all know and the songs which inspired the front and back covers. We hear about working with Neil Peart, Bob Ezrin, David Coverdale, Jimmy Page and the many models he immortalized with iconic album covers. Hugh is also an accomplished musician in his own right and talks about recording with Rush, working with former guest of UAWIL Jim McCarty of The Yardbirds and jamming with Aerosmith. We found Hugh to be soft spoken yet wryly funny as he related tales of living in London as a teenager, working as a musician in Toronto, and the 80s and 90s living in LA when it was the heart of the music business. And for you Rush fans, listen until the end as he announces he just submitted his artwork for an upcoming Rush anniversary reissue of one of our favorite 1980's Rush records. We had a delightful conversation with Hugh and we hope you enjoy it. Thanks again for all the support these 250 episodes - it means the world to us. Can we make it to 1,000???

We at The Wolf are excited to present our 250th episode of UAWIL and want to take a moment to thank all our loyal listeners & social media followers. Building this show and the community of fellow rock fans has been such a fun and sometimes magical adventure around the world these past 5 years. We want to express our sincere thanks for coming on the journey with us. Also, we like to do big guests on our 50th shows - Ryan Condal EP of House of the Dragon Ep 50, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets live (after welcoming Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt on earlier to promote the show) Ep 100, Steve Kilbey of The Church Ep 150 and Steve Howe of Yes Ep 200. And we are proud to welcome one of rock music's most celebrated and contracted cover artists, Hugh Syme. Hugh is best known for his work with Rush over 50 years as their first collaboration, Caress of Steel, is 50 this year. We learned from Hugh first hand how his original piece of art was given the sepia tone at print which we all know and the songs which inspired the front and back covers. We hear about working with Neil Peart, Bob Ezrin, David Coverdale, Jimmy Page and the many models he immortalized with iconic album covers. Hugh is also an accomplished musician in his own right and talks about recording with Rush, working with former guest of UAWIL Jim McCarty of The Yardbirds and jamming with Aerosmith. We found Hugh to be soft spoken yet wryly funny as he related tales of living in London as a teenager, working as a musician in Toronto, and the 80s and 90s living in LA when it was the heart of the music business. And for you Rush fans, listen until the end as he announces he just submitted his artwork for an upcoming Rush anniversary reissue of one of our favorite 1980's Rush records.

Et c'est parti pour une 12ème saison d'Amarok ! Il y comme ça des routines positives, comme celle d'allumer sa radio le jeudi soir ou de se connecter chaque semaine sur cette plateforme ! Et pour illustrer mon propos, rien de tel que ce titre issu de "Hand Cannot Erase" par STEVEN WILSON ! Déjà 10 ans que l'ami anglais nous a pondu cette merveille de fusion entre jazz, pop, rock et électronique... Chapeau bas l'Artiste ! Bien sur on reviendra au cours de la saison sur son dernier opus "The Overview"... Comme à chaque rentrée je croule sous les nouveautés accumulées durant la pause estivale ! Et ça commence avec un nouveau groupe de space rock australien nommé AMBIENT DEN. 1er opus éponyme fort réussi et prometteur. Le concept de cette galette? qui sent bon les 70's, la recherche par l'humanité d'un refuge parmi les étoiles... Jetez y une oreille et vous m'en donnerez des nouvelles ! Également inspiré des 70's (mais plus particulièrement par une formation obscure dont vous avez peut-être entendu parler : Genesis

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius In a truly epic episode this week, I had a lovely conversation with Steve Howe about the re-release of two of his solo albums, Portraits of Bob Dylan and Natural Timbre. Then, Mark and I enjoyed goofing around asking each other to guess the Yes men being referred to in various quotations. Do play along with that yourself after listening to my great chat with Steve. Why is Steve re-releasing these two albums now? How do they differ in approach? How important is Bob Dylan to music generally and to Steve?

Yes wurden ab den frühen 70er Jahren zum Taktgeber des Progressive Rock. Wie weit konnte eine Band gehen? 1972 legte die Band ihr Meisterwerk „Close To The Edge“ vor, eine Klangreise mit nur drei Titeln mit furios gesteigerten und abgewechselten Rhythmen und Harmonien: Popmusik, die durchdacht und geistreich erweitert wurde. Yes wurden spätestens jetzt zu einem Superact des Rock, in Europa wie auch in den USA. „Tales From Topographic Oceans“, 1973, das Nachfolgewerk, überforderte dagegen viele Fans. Keyboarder Rick Wakeman verließ die Band, deren wechselnde Besetzungen ohnehin für Unruhe sorgten. Yes verlor ein wenig die Konzentration als Band. Einzelne Lieder faszinierten nach wie vor, aber erst mit dem Album „Going For The One“, 1977, konnte die Band wieder überzeugen. Die Geschichte der Band war damit aber längst noch nicht vorbei, denn Yes trotzten Punk oder anderen musikalischen Zeiterscheinungen mit ihrer ganz eigenen Stärke.

We also delve into the technical aspects of re-releasing albums, the continuation of his solo projects, and the resurgence of vinyl in today's digital age. Tune in for a deep dive into Steve's incredible career and his thoughts on music, technology, and the timeless appeal of acoustic instruments.#Legends #YesMusic #SteveHowe #ProgRock #MusicInterview Image: Steve Knight from Halstead, United Kingdom, CC BY 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons

Blues is the Truth – Episode 766 This week's episode of Blues is the Truth is a rich tapestry of legends, modern voices, and heartfelt farewells. Sponsored by the Tuesday Night Blues Jam at the Rising Sun in Isleworth, it blends deep grooves with emotional resonance and classic fire. Host Ian McHugh presents a set full of soulful power, from the swampy swagger of The 251s to the guitar mastery of Steve Howe. There's classic blues-rock from Derek and the Dominos, while Andres Roots and Keb'Mo' keep the contemporary flame alive. Emma Wilson and The Terraplanes Blues Band bring UK blues passion, Delaney and Bonnie add soulful chemistry, and Giles Robson & The Dirty Aces light the strings on fire. Deepening the mix, Taj Mahal taps into foundational roots, and Johnny Iguana brings his inventive piano energy. A historic collaboration between Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton delivers electric resonance, while Maria Muldaur drips soul. The exotic tones of Vintage 18, the bluesy grit of Sheryl Youngblood, and the grooves of Andrew Duncanson, Big Mamas Door, and Breezy Rodio keep things lively and varied. Adding a nostalgic twist, George Harrison brings his folk-blues warmth, Brother Buffalo adds fresh acoustic poignancy, and Rory Block serves finger-picked storytelling. Tommy Castro and the Painkillers fuel modern energy, followed by the deep resonance of Muddy Waters and the refined vocality of Robert Cray. We also pay homage to Bobby Whitlock, whose music—and life—passed this week. Whitlock's influence, particularly through his songwriting and keys in Derek and the Dominos, helped shape the blues-rock lexicon. His passing is felt across the landscape we celebrate each episode. This one's a soulful journey through blues past, present, and future—full of heart, history, and fire.

Es brauchte ein paar Jahre und einige Alben, bis die Bandmitglieder von Yes ihre musikalische Sprache gefunden hatten: virtuoses Spiel, Formensprünge, Popsuiten, in denen alle fünf Mitglieder ihr Talent zum Klingen brachten. Nicht einzelne Lieder, sondern Alben mit langen musikalischen Geschichten waren das, was Yes den Erfolg brachte. Sänger Jon Anderson fiel mit seiner charakteristischen hohen Stimme besonders auf. Progressive Rock, das neue Genre der frühen 70er Jahre, wurde bald stark von Yes geprägt. Einen ersten Höhepunkt fand das Schaffen der Band mit dem Album „Fragile“ im Jahr 1971, in der für viele Fans klassischen Besetzung mit Anderson, dem Gitarristen Steve Howe, Bassisten Chris Squire, Schlagzeuger Bill Bruford und dem flamboyanten Keyboarder Rick Wakeman. Aber weitere Höhepunkte sollten noch folgen.

In this episode of LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson sits down with legendary guitarist Steve Howe of YES to explore the timeless impact of the classic 1971 YES album, "Fragile." Known for his masterful blend of acoustic and electric guitar playing, Steve shares in-depth insights on the album's creation, lasting influence and his preparation to perform the record live on tour in 2025. Listeners will be taken on a journey through the album's unique sound, characterized by clarity and innovation, and learn about the collaborative dynamics that brought tracks like "Roundabout" and "Heart of the Sunrise" to life. Steve reveals how the addition of keyboardist Rick Wakeman contributed to the album's distinctiveness and the bold artistic choices that made "Fragile" stand out. Further enriching the conversation, Steve recounts his experiences touring with iconic musicians like Delaney and Bonnie & Friends (Eric Clapton and George Harrison), and reflects on Yes's evolution as a band. From the album's striking Roger Dean cover art to the solo pieces that highlighted each band member's individual artistry, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the music and moments that defined "Fragile."

Most casual Yes fans aren't familiar with their 1980 release Drama. After 8 years of gold and platinum releases, Drama failed to sell as well as its 70s prog counterparts like Close To The Edge or Fragile. When they went to the south of France to record in late 1979, it was the most celebrated Yes lineup of Jon Anderson (vocals), Chris Squire (Bass), Steve Howe (guitars), Rick Wakeman (keyboards) and Alan White (drums), Coming off two solid efforts in Going For The One and Tormato, there was strong interest in the band, especially in America where they'd prebooked a tour including 3 sold out shows at Madison Square Garden. However, factions took over and cracks were exposed in the harmony of the band. Howe, White and Squire would come later and bring producer Roy Thomas Baker with them. Those four would dismiss the airy and ethereal efforts of Wakeman and Anderson in favor of their own heavy and proggy riffs. After Alan White injured himself roller skating with Richard Branson (as one does), the retreated back to England but Anderson and Wakeman had had enough and they left the band. Under the same management of Brian Lane and using the same studios were The Buggles, Geoff Downes (Keyboards) and Trevor Horn (vocals) vehicle for their worldwide hit Video Killed The Radio Star. Chris Squire invited them in to help write some songs but really, he wanted them in the band. Though Trevor Horn was reluctant to try to replicate Jon Anderson's high pitched vocals, they eventually joined and recorded Drama. Critics said it sounded remarkably like Yes, maybe more than they expected. But while Trevor's vocals aren't an exact match of Anderson's, they do hit that high register and the work by the musicians of Yes is off the charts strong. Tempus Fugit is a quintessential Yes song and Run Through The Light gives Trevor something closer to his own range while Geoff modernizes Yes' sound. Many Yes fans decided that no Anderson and No Wakeman meant No Thanks. But Drama has aged well and even the Roger Dean cover, which was never a big favorite of The Wolf compared to most all he did with Yes and Asia, is something that grows on you. This is a hidden gem in the Yes catalog, one that The Wolf includes among his favorite Yes albums. Give it a chance, see if you agree. * And if you can get the 2004 remaster do so - it sounds great and has lots of bonus tracks including some from the Anderson/Wakeman sessions.

Clinton, AR 2012

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I enjoyed coming up with 6 reasons why the band's third record, The Yes Album, is a great Yes album. As I'm sure you know, this was Steve Howe's first album with Yes and also Tony Kaye's last. It is correctly viewed by many fans, critics and Steve Howe himself as the first Yes masterpiece. Clearly, we could have found dozens of reasons why this is a great Yes album but that would have left less room for you to be involved. So please do add your reasons in the comments below. What do you think we chose? Is this album the start of the progressive sound of Yes? Was the success of the album all down to the musicians? Let us know if you agree with us! https://youtu.be/1fUudna1Xuw?si=tk5dHyQskjh4_LmY Yes - The Tormato Story Available now!

Surprisingly, America was formed in London.  The trio of Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek met in London where their fathers were stationed at the United States Air Force base at RAF South Ruislip.  The three attended London Central High School and began playing together on borrowed acoustic guitars.  The name came from the Americana jukebox in the mess hall, and a desire to distinguish themselves from the British musicians around them who were trying to sound more American.America is also their self-titled debut album released in the States in January 1972.  The album originally was released without “A Horse With No Name,” but when that single garnered significant commercial success it was added to a re-release of the album in early 1972.  The re-released album would top the US album charts and produce two top-10 singles.The band would be a force in the folk-rock and soft rock genres for a generation.  With close harmonies similar to Crosby, Stills & Nash, and complex acoustic guitar arrangements, their first seven albums would be in the top 50 on the album charts, though this first debut would be their lone chart topper to date.  Their compilation album “History:  America's Greatest Hits” was released at the end of 1975.America produced albums of original material up through 2015.  In 1977 Dan Peek left the group to pursue music in the Contemporary Christian genre.  Speculation regarding a reunion of the original members continued through the years until Peeks death in 2011.Rob brings us a great debut folk rock album in this week's podcast.RiversideThe lead off track is a good example of the original America sound.  It has a laid back message:  I don't want to take anything from you, and I don't want you to take anything from me.  It is a “live and let live” message using a metaphor of life on two sides of the river.A Horse with No NameThis is the track that put the band on the map.  Originally entitled “Desert Song” the track takes inspiration from a Salvador Dali painting and an M.C. Escher painting.  Writer Dewey Bunnell created lyrics loosely based on his travels as a child with family through the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico.  Three RosesBunnell paints a picture of both a quiet life and romantic uncertainty in this song inspired by his girlfriend, soon to be wife.  “Three roses were bought with you in mind.”  Dan Peek takes lead vocal duties on this one with subdued but complex chords and harmonies.I Need YouThe second single from the album was written by Gerry Beckley when he was 16 years old.  Beckley also takes lead vocals on this ballad which went to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.  You can sense the similarity to bands like the Beatles and Alan Parsons in this track. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television series “Emergency!”This first responder action series focused on Squad 51 in Los Angeles saw its debut in January 1972.  STAFF PICKS:Family Affair by Sly & the Family StoneBruce begins the staff picks with the most successful hit from Sly & the Family Stone.  This song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and the R&B Singles chart for five.  This track is a little different for the group, as the guitars are toned down, and the electric piano (with Billy Preston on keyboard) is brought up.  The lyrics talk about the ways a family can go wrong.Roundabout by YesLynch brings us a song written by singer Jon Anderson and guitarist Steve Howe.  The song originated from a trip the group took in Scotland in which they encountered a number of roundabouts.  The line, “in and around the lake” came from one of the lochs they passed.  This opening track from Fragile was drastically edited to produce a single coming in at 3:27 rather than the over 8-minute original.  It reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, the group's highest charting single until 1983's “Owner of a Lonely Heart.”Doctor My Eyes by Jackson BrowneWayne's staff pick is a single off Browne's debut and self-titled album.  The lyrics discuss the feeling that the singer is becoming jaded about life by seeing all the wrong in the world, and now being unable to cry about it.  David Crosby and Graham Nash provide backing vocals to this song which went to number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Misty Mountain Hop by Led ZeppelinRob features a song which was the B-side to Zeppelin's “Black Dog.”  The lyrics take their inspiration from the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, as well as the “Legalize Pot Rally” held in Hyde Park in July 1968.  It appeared on the massive Led Zeppelin IV album.  As Rob says, it is a “mixture of stoner idealism and Tolkien nerdery.” COMEDY TRACK:Pigeon Song by AmericaWe exit with a little double dipping, and with gratefulness that none of us is a pigeon named Fred.  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

One of the more underrated - some might say virtually lost - bands of the early rock era is Delaney & Bonnie.  This singer-songwriter duo is made of session guitarist/vocalist Delaney Bramlett and his wife and former Ikette Bonnie Bramlett.  Just as important as this founding couple is the number of talented musicians they brought into their recordings, with albums often being referenced as recorded by "Delaney & Bonnie and friends."  These "friends" included luminaries such as Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Steve Howe, and Rita Coolidge.  D&B Together is the sixth and final album from Delaney & Bonnie.  Originally entitled "Country Life," the album was delivered to Atco/Atlantic Records behind schedule and rushed into distribution.  Although Atlantic executive Jerry Wexler was a friend of the duo, he didn't think the quality was where it needed to be and withdrew it from the market.  He later sold the contract and the album's master tapes to CBS, who reordered the running sequence and re-released it in March 1972.  In addition to frequent collaborators Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, and Duane Allman, this album also contains the work of "friends" like Dave Mason, Billy Preston, and Tina Turner. Despite the title, Delaney and Bonnie would divorce shortly after the album came out.  Drugs were taking their toll on the couple and their relationship could not survive it.  However, they did have a daughter named Bekka Bramlett, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1993-1995 and had a long career as a backing vocalist in the music industry.Bruce presents this underrated rock/soul album for this week's podcast.Comin' HomeThis song was released in December 1969 by Atco Records (US) and Atlantic Records (international).  It was co-written by Bonnie Bramlett and Eric Clapton, and features Eric Clapton.  It went to number 84 on the US pop charts.  The lyrics are about being on the road and getting ready to come home to the one the singer loves.  Only You Know and I KnowDave Mason originally wrote and recorded this song in 1970, and it became his first charting single, going to number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Delaney & Bonnie re-recorded it and took it to number 20 on the same chart.  This single was released in 1971, another single that came out before the album.  I Know Something Good About YouThis is a deeper cut on the album with an upbeat, funky sound.  It was written by Delaney Bramlett and Joe Hicks.  Groupie (Superstar)Most people recognize this as a hit from the Carpenters, but this is the original.  Rita Coolidge came up with the idea after observing female groupies with rock starts in the late 60's, and the song was written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell.  It was the B-side to "Comin' Home."  Richard Carpenter picked it up for the Carpenters, and changed some of the lyrics to be less risqué.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television series The RookiesThis police action series debuted in October 1972. STAFF PICKS:And You and I by YesWayne leads off the staff picks with an excerpt of the 10+ minute work written by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, and Chris Squire. The entire song consists of four parts, but the first two were released as a single edit which hovered just outside the top 40 on the Billboard charts.   You Wear It Well by Rod StewartRob brings us the first single from Stewart's fourth studio album, "Never a Dull Moment."  It went to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 1 on the UK singles chart.  Many consider this an arrangement of Stewarts hit "Maggie May."  As with his previous album, members of the Faces join in as musicians on "Never a Dull Moment."Lean On Me by Bill WithersLynch features a song written and performed by Withers.  It was inspired by his experience growing up in a mining town in West Virginia. The community ethic of that town was something Withers missed when he moved to Los Angeles.  It was the first single from Withers' second album, "Still Bill." Turn to Stone by BarnstormBruce brings us a song inspired by frustration over the Vietnam War, the Nixon Administration, and the protesting that was going on at the time.  Joe Walsh left the James Gang and formed a group called Barnstorm.  The group put out three albums including one with the wonderful title "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get."  This song is off the group's self-titled debut album.  COMEDY TRACK:My Ding-a-Ling by Chuck BerryWe close out this week's podcast with Berry's double entendre masterpiece, on the charts in this month.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Yes had achieved chart success in the U.S. beginning with their third LP, The Yes Album. Original keyboard player Tony Kaye would be let go after that album, with former Strawbs keyboard player Rick Wakeman joining in mid-1971. Both the albums Fragile and Close to the Edge would be considered both fan and critical favorites, with a successful tour a triple-album live album and concert film in Yessongs. However, during that tour drummer Bill Bruford left for King Crimson and was replaced by Alan White, and Jon Anderson and Steve Howe began working on new music that would become one of the band's most controversial albums - Tales from Topographic Oceans.

Steve Howe, Johnson County District Attorney | 10-17-24See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1986 may be remembered most for Invisible Touch and So, but Steve Hackett, along with Steve Howe, also enjoyed some time on the Billboard charts with their project, GTR. The Tabletop discusses this album by the supergroup, and gets the inside scoop from GTR drummer Jonathan Mover.

For our 200th episode we wanted to bring in a guest that rock fans would be excited about but someone The Wolf and Action Jackson really admire. After hosting amazing guests on our 50th (Ryan Condal, House of the Dragon), 100th (live review of Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets after interviewing Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp on ep 96), and 150th (Steve Kilbey of The Church) we needed someone special to commemorate this milestone. As luck would have it, legendary guitarist and member of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Steve Howe (Yes, Asia) is releasing his latest solo album, Guitarscape, on September 27 and made himself available to us. As we tried hard not to be complete fanboys, we asked Steve to walk us through how he started building the bones of the album in 2019 thanks to a new Novatron that he'd acquired. We speak with Steve about the different textures of the album from acoustics (Spring Rhyme) to his signature hollow body electrics (Distillations, Passing Thoughts) to his brand new pedal steel (Equinox, Steel Breeze). With his son Dylan on the drums, Steve has put together a colorful palette of textures using his many talents and toys. We also manage to work in some questions about touring with Yes in the US with Deep Purple; however, when we interviewed him the tour was yet to begin, at the time of the release of this episode the tour had concluded. It sounds like there will be more new Yes music and future tours which is wonderful to hear. And, of course, we managed to squeeze in an Asia question because as long time listeners will tell you, it all comes back to Asia. The bottomline is we think you'll love our chat with Steve Howe and encourage you to pick up Guitarscape September 27. And thanks to everyone who's supported us through the first 200 episodes - we have much more in store so stay tuned.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are with guest Brad Birzer. Brad is the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in American Studies and Professor of History at Hillsdale College. He is also the co-founder of and Senior Contributor at The Imaginative Conservative, and the author of a number of books, including Neil Peart: Cultural (Re)Percussions. Find him online at bradbirzer.com or @bradleybirzer on Twitter.Brad's Music Pick: YesTell the moon dog, tell the march hare! We take you close to the edge of the south side of the sky this week as we discuss the early adventures of Britain's answer to all the questions raised by hippies during the Seventies, the New Age of Atlantic: Yes. Yes were one of the pillars of British progressive rock music, but also (perhaps surprisingly) a major commercial success in America long before their peers. They were also a truly singular band during their lengthy heyday; the band underwent endless lineup changes as personalities clashed and artistic visions ran amok, and yet they have always sounded like themselves and nobody else successfully has.Starting with local janitor Jon Anderson on countertenor vocals, Pete Banks on Hendrixian guitar, Tony Kaye on groovy late-Sixties B3 organ, fussily precise jazz drummer Bill Bruford keeping time, and Chris Squire playing a bass so aggressive it intimidates people into crossing to the other side of the street, Yes exploded out of London's club-gigging scene after drawing inspiration from watching a newly born King Crimson play the circuit. Their early style mixed originals -- first halting, then increasingly assured -- with spectacularly imaginative covers of everything from West Side Story to Buffalo Springfield and Simon & Garfunkel. But as Banks was jettisoned for Steve Howe, and then Tony Kaye traded in for Rick Wakeman, Yes ascended from a series of records beginning with The Yes Album and Fragile (1971) to superstardom, with all that entailed: sidelong songs, triple live albums, and extended soaks in the topographic oceans. All set to some of the most inscrutable lyrics but gorgeous music written during the decade.So turn on your lava lamp and get ready to call over valleys of endless seas as you and I climb crossing the shape of the morning -- it's time to sink into a elevated musical fantasy world created by Yes during this, the first part of their career. We take the story up through Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973); next time around, we'll get a relayer to go for the one without too much drama, but for now click play and enjoy the sound of perpetual change.
