GREAT WHITE - Rising (Frontiers Records)
One band that never say die are Great White, a band that have overcome massive adversity and rose above it all and kept it together as band. Following on from their ‘Back To The Rhythm’ album the band are back with ‘Rising’. This is without a doubt the bands finest release since ‘Once Bitten’. It has all the trademark bluesy rock that made the band such a phenomena back in the 80’s. Russell’s vocals haven’t been weather by time are still sound superb and Mark Kendall and Michael Lardie are again superb. It would be easy for the band to live of their past glories and tour with greatest hit shows, but this band simply won’t let go and still manage to continue to produce great albums with great tracks. This latest release features more than its fair share of classy tracks, tracks such as ‘All Or Nothin’, ‘Is It Enough’ and the rocker ‘Danger Zone’, all of which are just a few of my favourites and even the Rolling Stones ‘Let’s Spend The Night Together’ gets a great makeover. Anyone who thought ‘Back To The Rhythm’ was a class album will be simply blown away by ‘Rising’. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water you’re wrong, the Great White’s back!
