The result was the album entitled ‘In the Skies’, now something of a collector’s item.

In 1979, Peter Green decided to head for the studio once more and invited Snowy and his band along to jam.

In 1978, the band’s keyboard player Rick Wright asked him to play guitar on his solo album, entitled ‘Wet Dream’, which he recorded in the South of France. In the Autumn of 1976 he was invited to tour America and Europe with Pink Floyd as their first augmenting musician, a gig which took up most of his time throughout 1977. He had by then become friendly with the now legendary English blues guitarist Peter Green and they spent a lot of time jamming together. In the seventies he toured the east coast of America, getting as far south as New Orleans and discovering that he thoroughly enjoyed being ‘on the road’. He has developed his own style of ‘English’ blues, a combination of clear, clean blues phrases and harder-edged riffs that are a recognisable feature of his very personal songs. Snowy White is one of a handful of classic blues-orientated British electric guitar players – musicians whose sound, technique and style has echoed the originality of the blues with the excitement of contemporary rock. Snowy White is a man who has nothing to prove but who can still play hot and smoky guitar.Ĭheck out the soaring solo on ‘Keep On Flying,’ the long and edgy workout on ‘Blues 22’, the mellow guitar sounds on ‘Freshwater’, and the expressive ‘Longtime Blues’. Ten great tracks of relaxed riffs, cool grooves and soulful blues. ‘Driving On The 44’ is a further example of how he has matured and developed over the years. worth the wait?

All this makes Thin Lizzy a decent choice for hungover Sunday afternoons. But many of the songs here, like the endless Diddy Levine, prove forgettable and even the album’s rockiest moments have a maudlin, nostalgic mood. Honesty Is No Excuse is a sophisticated string-laden ballad, Look What The Wind Blew In has a carefree chorus and wonderful stuttering riff, Eire is a beautiful Celtic ode and Return Of The Farmer’s Son has hints of future glories in its jousting guitar and rolling drums. Lizzy mainstays Phil Lynott and Brian Downey together with original guitarist Eric Bell formed a power trio in the mould of Hendrix, Cream and The Jeff Beck Group and played an eclectic mix of folky, funky and soulful hippy rock. They’d go on to be one of the most definitive, life-affirming rock acts of the 70s but on their 1971 debut, Thin Lizzy seemed more nostalgic for the 60s.
