 Notes  
     Steve Howe was born in London on April 8, 1947. When he began playing
     guitar he had quite a few influences, chief among them was Chet Atkins.
     When you consider that two of the others were Django Reinhardt and the duo
     of Les Paul & Mary Ford, it is really hard to believe that he would become
     one of the most influential guitarists in progressive rock. In fact, his
     first band was a Chuck Berry-infused band called the Syndicats. He began
     playing with that group in 1964. They released several singles before Howe
     left the group.
     His next band was the In Crowd, which eventually became Tomorrow. Under the
     newer name they released two singles in 1967 and an self-titled album the
     following year. When the group broke up in 1968, Howe went on to a band
     called Bodast. Bodast built up quite a following and recorded an album.
     However, when their label went bankrupt, the still unreleased album was
     scrapped and the band eventually became a casualty breaking up fairly
     shortly thereafter. The album would not see release until 1981.
     After Bodast, Howe began trying to find his next band. Auditions with such
     groups as the Nice and Jethro Tull were unfruitful. As fate would have it,
     his next band would come looking for him. Prior to this 2015 double-disc
     Rhino collection, there never was a Steve Howe chronicle. That may be due
     to Howe being a titan of album-oriented progressive rock, a style that
     traditionally doesn't lend itself to compilation, but "Anthology" is nicely
     executed, running 33 tracks over two discs, offering a sampling of every
     Howe solo project, including the unreleased 1967 set that was later
     unearthed for the Mothballs project.
     Howe assembled "Anthology" with his son Virgil and it's interesting to see
     how he slips in covers of Bob Dylan and the Ventures' "Walk Don't Run" in
     between his own compositions, a move that warms his sometimes distant prog
     rock and helps this turn into a full portrait of Howe, the progressive
     rocker. Howe has handpicked 33 tracks from his vast and varied discography
     for "Anthology", a new remastered retrospective drawing primarily from the
     studio albums he recorded between 1975 and 2011. Available as a two-CD set,
     "Anthology" also includes tracks from a pair of compilation albums.
     The first is "Sharp On Attack" from 1988's "Guitar Speak", which featured
     various guitarists. The other is the flamenco-flavored track "Mood For A
     Day", one of Howe's signature songs with Yes. The version included here is
     taken from the 1993 album, "Symphonic Music of Yes", which features Howe
     and the English Chamber Orchestra.
