5.0 out of 5 stars I simply love it because he is such an emotional guitarist, October 25, 1999

By A Customer

snowy white is brilliant. There are not many guitarplayers nowadays who play their guitar with such an incridable feeling. He doesn't need to pretend that he is one of the fastest or one of the "new generation type" of guitarists. He simply plays hisself and that is actually more than enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good--but different than I was expecting, March 15, 2000

I was first introduced to Snowy White from a bootleg of the 1977 Pink Floyd In the Flesh tour, on which Snowy plays backup to David Gilmour. I then heard his music on Richard Wright's 1978 solo album Wet dream, and Roger Waters' 1987 (or 1988?) solo album Radio KAOS. I also saw Snowy playing lead on the last Roger Waters In the Flesh 1999 tour, and he certainly made a big impression there.

I was, therefore, expecting Snowy to play like he had on these efforts. In other words, I was expecting David Gilmour.

What I got was a bluesy, almost Dire Straits album with a few David Gilmour-type songs in there.

Snowy's playing is nothing less than superb. I love how he switches between an ultra-clean blues style to a more distorted rock style to a more flanged Gilmour style all within the same song.

His voice is unique and very nice. However, I think the lyrics and singing of the album does move it down from 5 stars to 4. Sometimes the singing just doesn't fit the song. Maybe he could have had Roger Waters right a few songs? :)

All in all, a very nice album certainly worthy of a purchase. You even get David Gilmour contributing some mean guitar on the last song!

Not sure why, but I had never bought any of SNOWY WHITE's cd's despite having about 700 guitarist in my collection. WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I ( there may be a song in that ). Definetly my loss. Another original and immensly entertaining take on BLUES / ROCK by a very inventive guitarist who obviously has total control over his instrument. Even his somewhat wheezy vocals complement the songs without exception. Great compositions are complemented by very original and expressive guitar solos that don't borrow from anyone. Think KOSSOF on acid or GILMOUR with more dexterity. Other WHITE's are already on order and I can hardly wait for my next fill of this mans musik.
