Stand up was Steve Morse's follow-up to the Introduction...Steve... has diverse abilities and like to flex his creative boundries... The album has great playing on it,in a more "song/vocal format rather than his usual(and personally appreciated)instrumental pieces.Like his foray's into Kansas(When he was "allowed" to stretch in the format)) and Deep Purple, it's all music and [really] good stuff at that, but not all apples have to be 'Red Delicious'. 'Stand up','Distant Star',and 'Book of Dreams' are good solid songs with lyrics that are par or above most(not all) found in our music, and 'Pick your poison' and 'Travels of Marco Polo' are great instrumental listening..With or without excellent guests...Be glad it's back,I assume, with a full color Sleeve...

Morse is the master in whatever he writes, with or without lyrics. STAND UP is a very good album. I just didn't like the drums sound, exagerated reverb on it.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's all over the map, April 11, 2002

Stand Up is an album typical of the time it was produced. It's good, but fragmented. When you have such diverse talents as Peter Frampton, Eric Johnson and Allan Holdsworth on the same disc, it's bound to have high and low points. Alot of people who know Morse tend to want to have instrumentals only. I think it's great that there is at least some vocal work on this album, Alex Ledgerwood, on a tune co wrote with Frampton. It's not great, it's not bad, there are high points and low points. Enjoy the artistry and the effort. It's fun!
