Great White - 1987 - Once bitten...

Released 20 july 1987

Once Bitten is probably Great White’s finest hour.  
Although 1989’s …Twice Shy wound up being Great White’s most successful album, Once Bitten is a slightly better record.  
This album contains a nice mix of rough ‘n tough rockers and slow-burning blues.  
While lead guitarist Mark Kendall is rarely considered one of the major guitar heroes of the era,
he sure knew how to unfurl a blues lick with impeccable tone and smooth delivery.  
His style was not as flashy as West Coast gunslingers like DeMartini and Lynch, but he deserves a little respect for his work on Once Bitten.  
The best songs are "Lady Red Light", "Rock Me", "All Over Now", "Never Change Heart", and "Save Your Love".  
My favorite lyric is the one that opens up All Over Now —“Woke up a little too rough.  
Lookin’ like a quarter when a dollar ain’t enough”.  
I think we all know that feeling!
