Back to the Southern Steel style! Some great rock, some smoother songs, an amazing country song and ends up with a classical piece. Highly recommended for every SMB fan.

I'll keep it short. I've listened once and aside from a couple of tunes that I didn't really connect with initially this is a great album. Fresh sound. I think Steve's best since coast to coast. Definitely a good purchase for any Steve Morse fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steve Morse: Simply One Of The Greatest Guitarists Who Ever Lived, July 15, 2011

This review is from: Outstanding in Their Field (Audio CD)

Steve Morse is one of the greatest guitarists in the world. "Out Standing In Their Field" highlights Steve's incredible versatility as a composer and performer. His country roots are on full display, but as quick as lightning delicate melody lines appear, and just as quickly hard rock riffs appear and dissolve into jazz. The Steve Morse Band also features bass master Dave LaRue and drummer Van Romaine: the three of them meld into an amazing sonic collage, with amazingly tight interplay between them.

This is a purely instrumental album, and that's a good thing: this music needs no distractions from lyrics, and is strong from the first to the last track. Although there's not a dud on the CD, my favorites are the rollicking opening track "Name Dropping" and the fabulous Celtic-influenced rocker "Flight of the Osprey."

"Out Standing In Their Field" is a great CD for anyone who appreciates excellence of musicianship, and I recommend the album highly, especially to those who know Steve Morse mostly for his work with Deep Purple. While I recommend listening to most anything from Deep Purple, if that's the only place you've heard Morse do yourself a favor and broaden your horizons with this CD. You won't be sorry. There was no question from the first measure of "Name Dropping" that this CD deserved five stars.
