2016 album.
Our Overview.
Snowy White is one of a handful of classic blues-orientated British electric guitar players - musicians whose sound, technique and style has echoed the originality of the blues with the excitement of contemporary rock.
At the age of eleven he first heard the urban blues sound that had been emanating from the United States, people such as BB King, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Albert King, and was immediately aware that this was the music that he wanted to incorporate in his playing. He has developed his own style of ‘English ‘ blues, a combination of clear, clean blues phrases and harder-edged riffs that are a recognisable feature of his very personal songs.
Since the late 1960s, Snowy White and his characteristic guitar-playing have made their mark on tasteful blues rock. Whether as a member of Thin Lizzy (on the albums Chinatown and Renegade), working with Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), as an indispensable tour musician for Pink Floyd and later Roger Waters, or as a highly-respected solo artist: Snowy has always remained true to his love for excellent, handmade music.
Blues Magazine wrote “Over a period of two years, Snowy worked on his new album at home in his studio. Mostly on his own…for the first time in his long and distinguished career.The result: 13 tracks that move between blues and rock, and show off his elegant guitar style which has enthralled fans the world over. If you’re talking beautiful guitar tones, nuances and mature articulation, then that is Snowy’s guitar-playing down to a T.”
This is one stunning album.
