Steve Howe - Beginnings
(1975, Atlantic) SD 18154




as I dropped the needle I wondered if Howe sings on this. Unfortunately he does on most tracks...

Yes, unfortunately Steve doesn't have the best singing voice. The playing and especially the songwriting on this album are outstanding however IMHO. After two or three listenings this LP really grew on me and I've played it a ton of times since then over the years.... ( I got a little more "used to" his voice as well as the songs growing on me after a couple listenings or so)
