Steve Hackett
Out of the Tunnel's Mouth

[ Inside Out Records / 2 CD ]

Release Date: Tuesday 8 June 2010

'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 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.
