Highway To The Sun is the CD that introduced me to Snowy White. It features some excellent songs, such as the title track, Can't Find Love, The Time Has Come, Keep On Working and Love, Pain and Sorrow, which features a blistering solo from David Gilmour.

In my opinion, probably the best of Snowy White's solo work.

I'm quite new to Snowy White as I heard him for the first time at Roger Waters' In The Flesh Tour in the summer of 2002. I liked the soft and bluesy sound of his Gibson Les Paul and decided to check out his discography.

Highway to the Sun was the fourth Snowy White album that I got and I like it a lot. It's a very laid back and unpolished album - something between the raw Blues Agency albums and the more polished Restless album. I have no real favorites on this album, as every track is very good. I'm sure Snowy White and co. was having a good time recording this album and it comes off on the listener. Chris Rea, David Gilmour and Gary Moore plays respectively slide- and lead guitar on three tracks, which makes this album even more fascinating. As Snowy writes: I Can't Get Enough Of The Blues (track 11) and neither can I... :-)

Snowy White has occasionally re-issued old tracks on his albums - either in a new arrangement or in the original version as a bonus track. As for instance, track 5 (The Time has Come) on Highway to the Sun appears in a more polished version on the Restless album.

Highway to the Sun is one of the best albums I have bought for a very long time, and it continues to grow every time I hear it. Maybe this one is the very best Snowy White album up to now, so I can only recommend that you order it immediately. This album is a must...

I bought this album for $3 in the 'get rid of it bin', which says most of it. Snowy has always had a lot of potiential which is frustratingly never reached. I believe he needs to: 1. Fire his producers (himself and Kuma Harada) and find someone to bring the best out of the songs. 2. Snowy is a talented guitarist, but on too many of the tracks, his guitar is relegated to the middle background. 3. Snowy's voice is not bad, but it seems to always intrude.

So many of the tracks start off seeming not too bad, but never rise to the expected level. Chris Rea, Garry Moore and Dave Gilmour are all totally wasted on their appearances.
