‘Natural Timbre’ is a 2001 instrumental collaboration between father and son, guitarist Steve and drummer Dylan Howe. This re-release – a companion to the former’s simultaneously re-issued ‘Portraits Of Bob Dylan’ – is a vital reminder of the beauty and creativity found in acoustic instrumentation, breathing new life into an album that originally demonstrated Steve Howe’s remarkable versatility as a guitarist and composer, as the pair create a deeply intimate sonic landscape that forgoes the grandeur of electric prog-rock for a rootsy, organic palette grounded in acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, lap steel, mandocello, and even koto.
