Out of the Tunnel's Mouth

Steve Hackett has earned the reputation of being one of Britain's finest composers & guitarists. Peter Gabriel invited him to join Genesis in the early 1970s and his involvement led to eight albums with the group (ten if you count the 'Spot the Pigeon' EP & 'Three Sides Live'). Steve's intricate & distinctive playing contributed heavily to their early success, developing an elegance + sophistication, which have become his trademark in the various solo undertakings he has partaken of since parting ways with the Charterhouse lads in 1977.

'Out of the Tunnel's Mouth' is Steve's first album on his Vanity label, Wolfwork, after leaving his previous record company, Camino. This recording is also Steve's first totally progressive rock release since his acclaimed 'Wild Orchids', from 2006.

Steve's unique talent continues to inspire on tracks such as the opener, "Fire on the Moon", the rockin' "Tubehead", and 'Ghost in the Glass'. Plus you get some great contributions from a number of other fine players, the most notable being YES bassist, Chris Squire, who guests on two tracks.

The second disc of this special edition of 'Out of the Tunnel's Mouth' is the icing on the cake, with Steve and his band "in concert", performing a number of classics spanning the man's career.
