White was new to contemporary jazz when he released this first recording of his solo career, but his sweet, classical guitar stylings had been sprucing up the work of Al Stewart since the mid-'70s. The man who co-wrote "Time Passages" and sweetened Basia's first two albums with his distinctive string lines entered the pop instrumental field with charming, smooth and melodic songs that launched one of smooth jazz's most prolific and big selling careers. While most of the disc is mellow and soothing, tunes like the rousing, percussive "Festival" and the synth driven "Danny Bianco" (which will remind listeners of Basia's "Run for Cover," and is dedicated to White's brother Danny, Basia's partner) will reveillez-vous (wake up) anyone who forgot to groove during the first few songs. While parts of tunes like the title track get a bit repetitive in spots, White's fluid passions on gems like "If Only for You" and the midtempo "Crazy Feeling" more than compensate. There's also an above average vocal by Windows' Skipper Wise on "Play Your Guitar for Me," some very inventive production and a tender solo instrumental reading of Buddy Holly's classic "Everyday." Dave Camp's flute adds a touch of whimsy to the proceedings. When first hearing this release, you might predict a long and rewarding career in the genre, and this was borne out by numerous classics to follow. ~ Jonathan Widran

I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. I grew up in a middle class family. My dad worked for the US Postal Service in Boston, and Mom was a housewife. I had a pretty average childhood, I did well in school. Looking back I wish I took advantage of the arts programs that the school offered. I have always been into music, and began writing some of the songs on this disc when I was a teenager. Following Dreams was started way back when I was 18, and I just completed the song this year, after finding the original cassette recording My first memories of hearing recorded music would be visiting my grandmother. She would play Engelbert Humperdink and Elvis music. I grew fond of vocalists that had a strong presence. I remember hearing Gambler by Kenny Rogers, and I believe that started my love of country music. It was different, with songs that told stories of everyday life. My favorite country singer was, and still is, Ronnie Milsap. His strong vocal approach reached audiences beyond country music. As I mentioned earlier, the first recordings I heard were those of Elvis and Engelbert. While at home or in the car, my mom had the radio tuned to music such as Glen Miller, and the big band sound. My dad was into instrumentals and classical music. He didn’t care much for rock. But an interesting event took place one night. My dad was searching for something for us to watch on television back in 1974. He came across the airing of California Jam. The show was already in progress and at a point where a young David Coverdale was getting ready to sing Mistreated. My dad took notice of Ritchie Blackmore, or else I’m sure he would have changed the channel. When David started to sing the first lines of “Mistreated”, much to my surprise, my dad exclaimed “that guy can sing”. From my perspective, I was blown away. I had never heard this approach before. I hadn’t heard anything like blues music, but I was immediately impressed. Unfortunately, it would be many years before I would hear anything from David. But I would never forget that performance. Moving along, I was still enjoying country music and getting into stuff from Alabama. Now we are in the early 1980’s and a movie would change the direction of my musical journey. It was Rocky III, and the song was “Eye of The Tiger” by a Chicago band called Survivor. At this point I was buying my own records and went out and bought the cassette of Eye of The Tiger. Every song was alive with guitar playing like I never heard before. I started to listen to rock stations and hearing bands like The Who, Styx, Boston, Journey, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Lynn Turner and my favorite Bad Company. Paul Rodgers would soon become one of my most favorite vocalists. About a week after buying Eye of The Tiger, I went back to the same store and found a cassette of a band called Whitesnake. It was called Snakebite. When I got to the counter the clerk said I had great taste ...
