Thanks to my friends  Snowy White - 2005 The Way It Is Aside from one pleasant hit single, 1984's 'Bird Of Paradise' Snowy White is probably best-known for his session work (Pink Floyd, Peter Green) and helping out Phil Lynott in a latter-day Thin Lizzy. On this recent recording it perhaps comes as no surprise that we get a new arrangement of the 'hit'. But we also get a new take on 'Black Magic Woman' and some heavyweight help in the shape of drummer Richard Bailey and Max Middleton (keyboards) who've played in Jeff Beck's band and the great 'Rabbit' Bundrick. Often guitarists make a real fist of solo albums: they are either over-blown or they reveal that they can't actually write good material for themselves. Snowy White is an exception, this album swings in the nicest way possible and his guitar style is charmingly restrained and tasteful. Moreover, there are some good tunes notably 'What I'm Searching For', 'Angel Inside You' and 'Falling'. White's vocal style is similarly laid-back and Steve Miller, Robben Ford and Eric Johnson come to mind. The overall feel to the album is Latin-blues tinged and the exemplary musicianship on offer makes this a really cracking little release. It's one of those albums that if you heard it on the radio or in the background in a record shop you'd want to ask who it was. And you'd probably buy it. Uberraschend gut!, 18. Mai 2005 Rezensentin/Rezensent: hannahmila (Mehr uber mich) aus Jork Germany Ich gebe zu, ich war etwas skeptisch, als ich die neue CD von Snowy White in den Handen hielt. Ein Aufguss seines einzigen Hits 'Bird of paradise' und dazu noch eine Coverversion von 'Black magic woman'? Das sah nach einem Anflug von fehlenden Ideen fur neue Songs aus. Als ich die CD dann aber auf dem Weg zur Arbeit horte, waren meine Bedenken wie weggewischt: Der alte Traditionalist Snowy White schafft es tatsachlich irgendwie, uberraschend frisch und innovativ zu klingen, und er hat wirklich nur richtig tolle Songs auf dem neuen Album, ohne einen einzigen Durchhanger. Er streut hier und da ganz dezent einige Blaser und Hintergrundchore ein, sein Gitarrenspiel klingt zwar immer noch schon bluesig, aber 'The way it is ...' ist beileibe kein reines Bluesalbum geworden, sondern klingt locker, flockig und entspannt, man konnte fast meinen, Snowy White hatte in der Vergangenheit recht intensiv Santana gehort. Fazit: Ein geniales Album fur den bevorstehenden Sommer, sein bestes seit langer Zeit!

Шибзик А я даже и не заметил, когда ты добрым стал...  Это на тебя так правильная музыка влияет! |

Когда музыка добрая, я тоже добрый  Бывает с утра наслушаешся жести в машине, тогда лучше не подходи  Но я такое редко слушаю, поэтому ко мне подходи большее время
