Guitarist Snowy White records Something beyond his years in rock and roll
Best known as the guitarist in Roger Watersâ immense touring juggernaut, Snowy White is actually a bit of an enigma, notching 20-odd solo albums worth of icy and spare blues playing roiling beneath wry reflections on life. His latest is called Something on Me and he explains it all for Goldmine.

Mick Kolassa album is cause for celebration. This longtime champion of the blues helped The Blues Foundation become a guiding force in this music and, indeed, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of
If You Can’t Be Good, Be Good At It (on his own Endless Blues Records) helps support that effort. And what an album! Give Jeff Jensen some credit here. The leader of his own band has settled into a groove with Kolassa over the latter’s last few album and here his guitar shrieks split the black night like lightning. Whether it’s Howling Wolf (“Who’s Been Talking”) or even James Taylor (“Lo And Behold”), the Kolassa/Jensen production gives the attention-to-detail highs priority while not sacrificing the big bass bottom. Kolassa’s voice has neve
THE CORNER hits the streets today via VizzTone Records. Early Times is a dynamic guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, and a singer/songwriter whose sharp, engaging lyrics draw comparisons to Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. His guitar playing is deeply rooted in the blues, with an individual, melodic phrasing that also reveals a classic jazz influence. Early is a Blues Rock street poet, his songs living in a gritty urban landscape spanning New York’s East Side street corners, bodegas, and the project park – a world populated by characters like Little Hustler, Uptown Charlie, Tijuana Madonna, Sweet Lou the Butcher, Ruby, Shakey, funky old Mabel, and of course Mary with her Cha Cha hat. Early and his High Rollers create moods so thick you could cut them with a chainsaw, and his incisive guitar playing is always spot on.
Ray Bonneville –
Gust Of Wind (Stony Plain): “Ray Bonneville combines electric blues motifs, a light sense of humor, and a pop approach to song-making. On pieces like the opening “Don’t Look Back,” with electric piano from Richard Bell, this combination comes across as a sort of Memphis Randy Newman. Colin Linden here produces this unique, memorable Canadian songwriter on his third album. Linden provides slide, baritone, and other guitar work on the album. Like Linden, Bonneville is adept at incorporating blues styles into accessible pop gems. Recorded in Canada and Nashville, this album features mandolin maestro Tim O’Brien on “Canary Yellow Car” and the Band’s Rick Bell playing keyboards on five selections. Like the album, Bonneville is a constantly moving dual citizen of Canada and the United States. This broad base of experience reflects in an album featuring North American themes of pop, rock, and blues.” (https://www.allmusic.com/album/gust-of-wind-mw00002
