Snowy White - White Flames [1983] … rediscoverd!!

"White Flames" documents the development of one of Britain's finest bluesy guitarists.

The solo debut of guitarist and singer Snowy White, was released in 1983 during the aftermath of his departure from Thin Lizzy. A craftsman-like musician, Snowy yearned to play more in his own melodic and thoughtful style, away from the roar of a raucous rock group. The result was not just a splendid album, but a hit single as well.

‘Bird Of Paradise’ soared into the UK Top Ten and is one of nine tracks on this superb CD that retain their power to entrance and delight. Watch out for such songs as ‘Open Carefully’, ‘Lucky Star’ and ‘It’s No Secret’, as well as the additional ‘live’ track ‘For The Rest Of My Life’.

This was the launch pad for a long creative career that sees Snowy's flames still burning! [repertoirerecords.com]
