American Dream 11. Long Grey Mare 12. That's When I'll Stop Loving You 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.
His latest album is a live album recorded in late 2006 in between commitments with the Roger Waters Band with whom Snowy has been touring for the last eighteen months.
Live Flames finds Snowy alongside The White Flames which features Juan van Emmerloot on drums, Walter Latupeirissa on bass and long time keyboardist Max Middleton.
Amongst the tracks which are mainly solely written or co-written by Snowy White with members of the band is a cover of the Peter Green song Long Grey Mare which was originally a featured song on the very first Fleetwood Mac album in 1967. The band turn the song into a show stopping performance here and it is a highlight of the album.
