They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: This is an instrumental guitar shredding album but different to others I own by Joe Satriani, Stevie Vai and Jeff Beck. They are each pretty distinctive players and while I own a gazillion Satriani albums I only have the one by Steve.

It's fitting that he follows Neal Morse in my collection because the two of them are similar in their love of playing in collaborative settings. Steve is well known from playing in Deep Purple, Kansas and Dixie Dregs (all of whom have appeared already in this blog).
He also has a prolific solo career. This is his eleventh! He is not just a Led Zeppelin/ Deep Purple loving guitarist, he plays a variety of styles on this album with his power trio.
If you love guitar-driven rock music without vocals and you love Joe Satriani, then you must have a listen to this album.
Where do they all belong? An underrated guitarist. Fits right in to the possie next to Neal (no relation).
