British born guitarist Snowy White (Born Terence Charles White) first became interested in music at the age of eleven when he was inspired by blues musicians Buddy Guy and B.B. King. He pursued his blues style in a number of bands however during the seventies Snowy made a reputation for himself playing numerous sessions for a wide variety of musicians such as Al Stewart, Cliff Richard and Peter Green. More famously Snowy toured as second guitarist with Pink Floyd augmenting the bands sound on the tours to promote the Animals and The Wall albums. By late 1979 however tiring of the session scene Snowy accepted the offer to join the rock band Thin Lizzy. Snowy recorded two albums with Thin Lizzy (Chinatown and Renegade) and completed a number of successful tours before deciding that the bands music and more importantly their lifestyle wasn't to his taste.

He formed his own band featuring drummer Richard Bailey and bassist Kuma Harada. With this band he recorded his first solo album entitled white Flames. A single lifted from that album (Bird Of Paradise) became a surprise hit reaching the British top ten in early 1983. From here Snowy White recorded a number of blues based albums all of which were warmly received by the blues audience his records are aimed at.

No Faith Required is the first in a series of reissued Snowy White albums that have been unavailable for some time. No Faith Required was originally released in 1996 and was the first album to be recorded with The White Flames. The album is a set of Snowy White originals which finds the guitarist in fine voice over his distinctive guitar style. This re issue will also contain two previously unreleased bonus instrumental tracks that are drawn from the White Flames Instrumental Sessions.
