Great White “Rising” Audio Samples Available

great-white-ris-coverSince reuniting in January 07’ to perform a benefit concert, Great White has moved forward with the successful release in the summer of the same year of their return album “Back to the Rhythm”, a record which was hailed by critics and fans as a return to the heydays of the band. After a world tour that celebrated the first 25 years of Great White and that brought them for 14 concerts to Europe, bass player Sean McNabb opted out and was replaced by Scott Snyder (ex Ramos, Accomplice).

The band (which of course includes long-time members by Jack Russell, Michael Lardie, Audie Desbrow and Mark Kendall) went back to the studio and produced the brand new album “Rising”, once again a tribute to the Great White root sound with Rock, Blues and strong melodic elements.

The Southern California blues Hard Rock band first took a bite out of the rock scene in 1984 and since then has achieved worldwide success, encompassing sales of over six million records. They received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” and earned a double platinum certification for the album “…Twice Shy”.  The late 80’s were boom years for the band, marked by non-stop touring with some of the biggest bands of the era and playing also in Europe and Japan. Great White recorded two more albums for Capitol — “Hooked”, which was certified gold and “Psycho City”.

The album includes an exclusive bonus track for Europe “Let’s Spend the Night Together”.

    I totally agree with Chris. His passion for the songs are gone. He used to have this emotional but passionate way of singing and made you feel what he was feeling. The music is very good but i believe after the fire, the toll it took on Jack Russell really diminished his singing and his love for great music.Another band that is slowly fading away, so sad.

    This could be another great record from Jack and the guys going by these samples. The songs definitely have an old school feel to them, “Is It Enough” could be huge if anybody actually gives it some airplay.

      The band has taken the path of least resistance again. Jack is not really challenging his voice and the songs just seem to plod along, generically. Unfortunate. Jack used to be one of the best voices in hard rock for his range ability alone, but added, was his aggressive angst and passion. He sounds more like he’s singing from the porch swinging in the easy chair now… Their last album had a few good moments, like “Back to the Rhythm” and “Cold World”, but this time out I fear we are in for even more very “average” Great White. They should take a lesson from how Blue Oyster Cult has gone out in the last ten years as they move towards retirement. Two of the best albums they ever produced. Not so with Great White.
