Great White: Back to the Rhythm

With all the drama and tragedy that has surrounded the Great White camp the last few years, the best thing they could have done is get themselves into the studio and come up with an album like Back to the Rhythm. Getting back to their roots, which was always 70's inspired hard rock along the lines of Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie, Mountain, Aerosmith, and The Rolling Stones (not the 80's hair metal scene that they were wrongly lumped in with), Back to the Rhythm is an enjoyable hour's worth of rockin' material that's not going to set the world in fire for originality, but is certainly a return to form for this underrated band. The dynamic duo of singer Jack Russell and guitarist Mark Kendall are at it again, delivering plenty of husky vocals and smokin' guitar licks on such rockers as "Take Me Down", "Still Hungry", "Neighborhood", and the searing title track, which has some killer lead guitar work from Kendall. Elsewhere, expect plenty of bluesy rockers and soulful ballads, with the catchy "Cold World" being a song that could easily find some radio airplay in a perfect world. Back to the Rhythm shows that Great White, along with Tesla, have much more to offer than many of the 80's bands who can only come out and play their nostalgia set to get attention these days.
