After some years working as a much in demand guitarist for artists as diverse as Al Stewart, Pink Floyd and Thin Lizzy, Snowy White branched out as a solo artist with the release of his first solo album ‘White Flames’ in 1983. The album spawned a major hit single in ‘Bird Of Paradise’ early the following year and subsequently enjoyed chart success. This was followed in the 1980s by two more fine albums. At the end of the decade White formed the band Snowy White’s Blues Agency and the group recorded the albums ‘Change My Life’ and ‘Open For Business’ in quick succession.
Snowy White then took a hiatus from recording as a solo artist, but returned to the fore in 1994 with the excellent album ‘Highway To The Sun’ which featured guest appearances from such stellar talents as David Gilmour, Chris Rea and Gary Moore.
This anthology features all of Snowy White’s albums issued between 1983 and 1994 alongside 18 bonus tracks drawn from rare singles and session recordings from this era. The set includes an illustrated booklet with a new essay and exclusive interview with Snowy White.
