Guitarist Steve Hackett first came to the attention of many fans when he joined Genesis in 1971. After seven excellent albums with the band, he went his own way in 1977. He had already kick-started his solo career with the critically acclaimed Voyage of the Acolyte in 1975, but 24 studio albums followed, making him the most prolific member of the classic Genesis line-up. In the 1980s, he also formed GTR with Yes guitarist Steve Howe and they enjoyed commercial success with a hit album and single. Steve's solo work has embraced rock, prog, classical, blues, pop, jazz, and world music, all performed with style and panache, and his most recent album, At the Edge of Light, released in 2019, is perhaps his best since the classic Spectral Mornings in 1979. On stage, he has kept the Genesis flame burning brightly, performing the band's classic material from the 1970s alongside his own work. He remains one of the most innovative and influential musicians in rock.

This book examines, in detail, each one of Steve's studio albums and traces his long and varied history. Collaborations, live albums, and compilations are also discussed, making this the most comprehensive guide to the music of Steve Hackett yet published. Whether the reader is a diehard fan or someone wishing to catch up on his post-Genesis work, Steve Hackett on track is essential reading.
