During his 5 decades with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s Yes as well as the platinum sounds of Asia and GTR, Steve has written many songs and played on massive hits albums that have stood the test of time, while also forging ahead with a very successful solo career. In 2001, Steve Howe released his seventh solo albumNatural Timbre. The self produced masterwork includes 18 amazing guitar workouts featuring three sensational Yes classics “Your Move” “Disillusion” and the stunning album closer “To Be Over.”

Natural Timbrefeatures Howe, joined by his son Dylan on drums, in an acoustic setting with an array of instruments including acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro, lap steel guitar, mandocello and koto across a range of original instrumental compositions and Classical interpretations to produce a deeply intimate collection of moving, atmospheric and stunningly beautiful music.

Steve Howe: The idea behindNatural Timbrewas to show that the beauty of acoustic instruments is universal He goes onto say: I really set about it, putting the electric guitar away wanting to do another kind of exploration, because like the piano, you can’t get away from the tonality of acoustic sound. It’s one of those beautiful, harmonising, soothing things
