Album Description

Homebrew is a unique album from Steve Howe composed of rough first drafts and acoustical attempts at songs that went on to become quite famous. While some of the songs here were adopted by GTR and Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe, many of the others stem from Howe's past solo albums, making Homebrew a splendid collection of his work.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Interesting Look Inside the Mind of Steve Howe.......2001-08-05

In the progressive rock world, Steve Howe is a legend. This album is an interesting look at the writing process of the man. It is basically a collection of demos that Howe worked on before they would become heard in full form with Asia, GTR, and ABWH, as well as on his solo albums. Therefore, if you're a fan of these bands, it is quite a treat to hear songs like "Red and White" (what would be the basis of "Birthright" on _ABWH_), "Never Stop Learning" (would be used in "Brother of Mine" on _ABWH_), and "More About You" (what would be used in "Quartet" on _ABWH__). In addition, "Rare Birds" is known as the unreleased track "Vultures" from the original ABWH Sessions and the version on this album alone arguably justifies buying the CD. Howe sings on about half of the tracks, and it should be kept in mind that these are more or less "advanced demos", but for all of those who have followed Howe's career, this is essential.

4 out of 5 stars An interesting peek.......2000-01-20

Steve Howe the guitarist is superb; Steve Howe the singer shouldn't quit his day job. The meat and potatoes of this collection of Howe's home recordings are his "guitar suites," the various instrumentals he recorded with massive overdubs from his stringed arsenal that make all of them wonderful to listen to. You also get the demos of songs that eventually became full-blown Yes pieces. It's an interesting view of how some of the tunes evolved---all featuring several good reasons why Jon Anderson is the lead singer for Yes.
