Snowy White - Bird of Paradise, An Anthology [2 CD, 2003]

 

32 track double CD anthology of one of the great unsung guitar heroes of British rock music. This multi-talented songwriter and musician worked with Pink Floyd, Peter Green, Thin Lizzy and Roger Waters before launching a solo career with his debut album "White Flames" in 1983. Mixing blues rock compositions with pop-based tracks, the album spawned a UK Top 10 hit, "Bird Of Paradise", sounding uncannily like Peter Green, both in voice and guitar tone. Although White continued to issue similarly styled solo outings during the next few years, further hit singles proved elusive and he formed a strictly blues-based outfit, the Blues Agency. Afterwards, White recruited Walter Latupeirissa (bass) and Juan van Emmerloot (drums) to form another new group, Snowy White And The White Flames, which toured and issued albums on a regular basis throughout the '90s. This collection of the cream of his recordings from 1983 to 1999 serves as an excellent overview of one of rock music's most overlooked guitarists and singer/songwriters.
