Natural Timbre

Steve Howe

Acoustic purity. Eighteen tracks of solo and layered string work that strip away the prog-rock bombast to reveal the wooden heart of the guitar.

A serene and technically brilliant celebration of acoustic string instruments and pastoral melodies.

Moments Worth Listening For
The intricate, cascading mandolin layers on the reimagined version of Your Move.
The stark, lonely resonance of the solo guitar on the Elizabethan-inspired The Little Galliard.
The way the pedal steel provides a haunting, ambient swell beneath the fingerpicking on Distant Seas.
