THE RAY SHASHO SHOW WELCOMES 'GENESIS' LEGENDARY GUITARIST
STEVE HACKETT
STEVE HACKETT is widely renowned
for his intricate progressive and classical rock guitar stylings and
composition with Genesis. But over the years, Steve Hackett has affectionately
embraced numerous musical genres while brilliantly composing, arranging, and
recording track after track of pristine musical enchantment.
In 1971, Steve Hackett made his
studio debut with Genesis on the album Nursery Cryme. The classic lineup became
Peter Gabriel (Lead singer), Steve Hackett (Guitarist), Tony Banks
(Keyboardist), Mike Rutherford (Bass guitar), and Phil Collins (Drums). Genesis
became touted for their intricate musical arrangements and instrumentation
along with frontman Peter Gabriel’s raconteur theatrical stage antics. During
this time Hackett became an early pioneer for an electric guitar technique
called “tapping” which is more commonly used on instruments like the Chapman
Stick.
In 1985, Steve Hackett and Steve
Howe (Yes, Asia) united to form GTR. The band released their self-titled debut
album in 1986 produced by Geoff Downes. The release spawned the hit “When the
Heart Rules the Mind” reaching #14 on Billboards’ Hot 100 Singles Chart. GTR
disbanded in 1987.
On March 15th of 2010 Steve
Hackett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of
Genesis.
In 2012, Steve Hackett joined
forces with YES legend Chris Squire and formed Squackett. Their debut release
entitled … A Life Within a Day received rave reviews.
Earlier this year Hackett
released his latest solo album entitled Wolflight. The album debuted at number
31 on the UK album charts. Since 1975, Steve Hackett has expeditiously released
more than (25) inspired solo studio albums.
Most recently Esoteric Recordings
announced the official release of a 2 disc deluxe edition of GTR, the
self-titled 1986 album by Steve Hackett and Steve Howe’s band GTR. This edition
has been newly re-mastered and is presented here with the addition of a bonus
14-track CD of GTR live in Los Angeles in July 1986. There are also three bonus
tracks taken from promotional 12-inch singles of ‘When the Heart Rules the
Mind’ & ‘The Hunter,’ two of which appear on the CD for the first time.
It is my great pleasure to
introduce British guitar virtuoso, singer, songwriter, a musician’s musician …
