Seasons Of Fire...

The CD is inspired by the feeling of the name...an inferno of sound transversing the different styles (seasons) of the players.
This one is a rocker...no melodramatic slow ballads here !! It's the best of the best that I have had the immense pleasure of being involved with.

By now you should know the names...

  • Bob Dreher (Blind Date) Guitar
  • Per Rannug (Mojo Blues/PLT) Guitar
  • Dale Collins (Collins/Shaw) Guitar
  • Thorbjoern Aasvaer (Mojo Blues/PLT) Keyboards
  • Hawken Englund (Mouth of Clay)
  • Clive Rogers (Cobra)

These guys are pros..really fine musicians who have allowed me to join them in playing our hearts out for you and to bring you this CD !

I hope  you will like it !

 

I've recently had the pleasure of daily listenings to the cd "Seasons of Fire" by our very own Dave White.

I guess most of you are aware of this CD, and if you're not, Im writing this to tell you all its a great guitar cd.

The Seasons of Fire cd starts up with Shin Splints, a great start number as it seems to build up to a crescendo from the start and all the way through..A real teaser, and great 80's sound guitar too..Second number is a more melodious one, Turning Point, and it would be great to hear this one orchestrated with Philharmonics, sorta Scorpions style methinks..With a subtle start up, nice organ and a single, yet perfectly placed "Darker side off the Moon" bell, Come Away Melinda is a sure stunner! I find myself pushing Repeat on this one all the time, great job Dave!

Next comes Surreal Morning, that I think has a modern Ken Hensley sound to it, again with a playfull guitar, and I must agree with an earlier comment here, the guitar play needs no excuse in comparison with any 90's guitar heroes..Smoothly going into The Other Side, Surreal Morning seems like a nice "wake up" after the drifting away with Melinda..The Other Side picks up the pace a bit and puts the rock guitar in heavy focus, very nice, I would love to hear this one as a mean slide!

Number six, Treaty, is a laid back, melodious piece of guitar frenzy, nice playfull bass line and again one notices the way the organ fills out the number without taking over..This IS a guitar CD! A sort of dreamy number with a pace..Title number Seasons of Fire takes of like 80's music meets country meets Satriani, and I think theres a very heepy feeling about this number..The guitar picks up to a dirty rocking blaze and the organ is omnipresent..A very well structured number indeed! On this number one really notices the sort of metallic sound they made for the drums, you notice it on other numbers but its really wicked sounding on this one..Wicked as in good, a fresh intake.

Aftermath smooths out the end of the album, very dreamy, like a space voyage for organ turning into a rollercoaster for guitar, so far Ive blown several strings on my airguitar!..Its the cosmic touch of the cd..In conclusion I enjoyed the album very much and I can firmly recommend it to anyone..Its great and I'm looking much forward to meet you one day and buy you that beer!

It's a showcase of raging rock guitar, with a "no holes barred" attitude !
Many of the songs are in final process as this page is being written, and will be final mixed, and available within a month.

So a big thank you for all the people on this CD for helping me to get our collective music up here for you to enjoy !

As usual, we never were in the same studio together...all these songs were recorded at our respective homes and studios and mixed down by each of the players as they saw fit.

Come hear the current songs currently available at our mp3 site, and let us know what you think !


This compilation of songs is the end result of a wonderful journey through many "Seasons Of Fire" in the last 4 years of recording music with many very talented people, each unique in thier talents, and each a very good friend of mine. We tried to do it all this time...give out the very best of what we feel is our "slot" or "uniqueness" in the way each of us looks at our perception of music.

Harnessing the internet and it's capabilities, Seasons Of Fire had it's tracks auditioned, e-mailed, modified, and finalized through a series of meetings on the net with the various contributors. It's the way we do it, and we each hope that each of you may find your own seasons, maybe just a little quicker or better because of the music you hear on Seasons Of Fire.

Hi y'all!!!

Dave W. was kind enough to send me an advance copy of his new album, Seasons 
of Fire, and I thought I'd let y'all know it's killer.

I can honestly say, even as biased as I am, that this is one of the finest 
guitar albums I've ever heard. ...

There's actual melodies (and very good melodies!!!) that you can 
hum after listening!!!! I don't care much for how fast a guitarist can 
play, I care for the feeling they evoke (which explains why my fave 
guitarists are Box, Blackmore, King & Vaughan!! and now White!!! :-)

I know Dave envisions this as a project with other people playing his stuff, 
but I don't know why he wants to mess with this, it's great the way it is!!! 
And I'd much rather listen to Dave play guitar than any guests he might 
line up, unless his name happens to be Mick Box!!!!

Also, Dave does a killer version of Come Away Melinda that's about as far 
away from Heep's version as Clive's version of The Wizard is!!

Anyways, congrats Dave!!!! 

Definitely one of the best releases for 2000!!!! 


Great artwork, too! ;-))
