Snowy White Live From London review Though often remembered as a former guitarist for Thin Lizzy, Snowy White has had a long, prolific, and varied career as both a solo artist and a session man, playing with Pink Floyd as they toured with THE WALL, and working with one-time mentor Peter Green. Snowy White Live From London DVD White is revered by many as one of the UK's best blues guitarists, which is fully demonstrated in this live show held in London's Camden Palace during the mid-1980s…..
Peter Green is regarded by some fans as the greatest white blues guitarist ever, Eric Clapton notwithstanding. Born Peter Greenbaum but calling himself Peter Green by age 15, he grew up in London's working-class East End. Green's early musical influences were Hank Marvin of the Shadows, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Freddie King, and traditional Jewish music.
Excellent addition to any prog rock music collection
This is the first album by Peter Gabriel. It is not extremely progressive. There are omnipresent aggressive rock guitars. “Moribund The Burgermeister” still has some “Lamb lies down on Broadway” influences, especially the miscellaneous original vocal expressions provided by Gabriel himself.
This is a reasonably comprehensive collection of Peter Green's catalog, with 78 minutes of music at mid-price, drawn from In the Skies, Little Dreamer, Blue Guitar, White Sky and Legend, the first two albums contributing the majority of the best material here. Green's guitar playing is as impressive as ever, and his singing is nothing to ignore, a sweet, gently soulful rasp that recalls his one-time rival Eric Clapton at his best behind the microphone. There's just a bit of fall-off in quality between tracks like "Apostle" and "Little Dreamer," and later stuff like "Last Train From San Antone" when they're heard side by side. And a lot of this doesn't seem as strong today as it did in the late '70s, when Green was one of the last exponents of British blues still working in that genre and getting heard. But the sound is good, and the price is right.
