Product Description
Great White is an American hard rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1978. The band gained popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s. The band released several albums in the late 1980s and gained airplay on MTV with music videos for songs like "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". The band reached their peak popularity with the album ...Twice Shy in 1989.
The band continued to release new material into the 1990s, although none of their material charted in the United States. In 2003, the band made headlines when The Station nightclub fire led to the deaths of 100 people in West Warwick, Rhode Island, including the band's guitarist Ty Longley, who had been a member of the band for three years.[1] Great White made a comeback in 2007 with the release of a new album and an accompanying tour.

Great White are a refreshing alternative to the better known classic rock bands. Vocals are very Robert Plant like, guitar riffs are melodic, clear and crisp, the solos are simple and easy to follow. Album contains good hard rock songs and some acoustic tracks. If you are not familar with the band go for one of their many compilations first and if you enjoy this is a good follow up album.

Great White's "Can't Get There From Here" is a solid effort! I've got to admire these guys. They kept on cranking out albums all through the nineties, in spite of all the "alternative" types of rock bands that had sprung up on the scene. This album is Great White at their "hard rock with a bluesy flavor" best. There is nothing experimental about this album. It has the classic Great White sound that the fans love. I think this album proves that this band just keeps getting better with age. If you are already a fan of Great White, you WILL NOT want to miss picking up a copy of this album! You don't need to be a Great White fan to appreciate it however! If you are a fan of melodic hard rock, or "80's metal", as some folks insist on calling it, this album would be a great addition to your collection. In fact, if you are a fan of this style of rock, you may be in for a pleasant surprise! Many of these bands have 1999 and 2000 releases! After you pick up a copy of "Can't Get There From Here", you might want to check out some of your other favorite bands in the genre. "Don't wait for a better day. Or you won't get there at all."-Kane Roberts-(Used with his kind permission)

This Is Proof(Rock-n-Roll will never die)
31 Oct 1999
Format:Audio CD
I graduated high school in 1989. When I heard this album I thought I was back cruising in my 79 Cutlass, jamming with the boys. This album is a true throwback in time. It would have been a number one back then and should now. If it doesn't get the credit it deserves it shows how screwed up the so called critics are. This is absolutely a totally kick-a** album from the hard rocking licks to the beautiful ballads. In all my days of rocking this has to rank with the best albums I have ever heard bar none. It is excellent real rock-n-roll from the heart. 10 stars on a five star scale. If you like good ol kick ass rock and heart felt ballads you won't be disappointed. Trust me, buy it now. It is positively the best album out in the last 10-15years that I've been a serious music fan. Keep up the great work Great White. ROCK ON !

A hell of a lot more than just an 80's band...
9 Dec 2000
Format:Audio CD
Of all of the great bands that have suffered in the past decade because of being unfairly categorized as "hair" bands due to a handful of lousy ripoffs from the late 80's, perhaps no other band is less deserving of this stigma than Great White. Throughout their career, Great White has consistently created melodic, soulful, blues-based metal. Although many people falsely believe that Great White disappeared after the 1989 smash "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", the reality is that they have continued to write quality music throughout the 90's. "Can't Get There From Here" is undoubtedly the best offering since the 1989 "Twice Shy", and arguably the best recording of their career. Songs such as 'Sister Mary', 'In The Tradition', 'Loveless Age', and my personal favorite 'Hey Mister', contain just about as much feeling as any other music I have ever heard. Vocalist Jack Russell sings with so much true emotion on this album that you almost wonder if an electronic device such as a CD player is capable of withstanding the pressure. You can literally feel every word that he sings. Meanwhile, guitarist Mark Kendall continues to display his knack for constructing guitar solos that are both powerful and delicate at the same time, a perfect compliment to Russell's singing. Kendall may possibly be the most underappreciated guitarist in rock, and that is truly unfortunate, as his playing is without a doubt anything but average. However, if the mellower stuff isn't your bread and butter, there are still tracks on this album that are raw and ready to rock. 'Wooden Jesus', "Rollin' Stoned', 'Saint Lorraine', and 'Gone to The Dogs' should satisfy your urge to turn up the volume, while 'Ain't No Shame', 'Silent Night', and 'Psychedelic Hurricane' offer the medium between ballad and rocker. If you are fed up with the disaster that is now called "rock" (as I certainly am), you should forget about the ridicule from your friends for buying something from an "80's" band, and give this album a listen. Believe it or not, there are still bands out there that write music that touches people on different levels, that can be a combination of happiness, sadness, anger, and excitement all at once. This is something that modern hard rock bands are obviously incapable of doing, but with "Can't Get There From Here", Great White shows that it can definitely still be done. It just takes a little "old school" experience.

Great White still knows how to make good rock n' roll
20 Oct 2002
Format:Audio CD
I was sad to hear Great White broke up last year. They have been one of the most underated and best, heavy metal bands since they formed back in '78. I love the classic Great White stuff, so I bought this a couple years ago. They have always been called a "hair" band. That is not true in the least. They have always been better then average songsmiths and a talented group. They have always stuck close to their bluesy Zeppelin roots. This album is the best record they ever did in the 23 year history of the band. It is the best hard rock album I have heard in years. This is MUCH better then Aerosmtih's latest album, "Just push Play". Great White should be one of the biggest classic metal bands, but the stress of being pushed aside for the last decade of the bands history, has finally killed off one of the true greats of hard rock. Damn you, grunge rock. This was not a talentless "hair" band, but it's too late for Great White. This is a classic, spirited hard rock album. Give it the respect it deserves.
