Quotes
“I’d have to say that Kenny White has earned a place among my favorite singer/songwriters…and particularly, lyricists. As we say in the trade “he goes deep.” A true wordsmith AND musician who reveals a fine sense of humor, as well. Put on your headphones and listen carefully.”
- David Crosby
“Songs of tragedy, comedy, life and death…Kenny White is the troubadour of our sometimes sweet, often troubled times. ‘Carry You Home’ is the big song I’ve been waiting for. Bravo, Kenny, in all categories…writing, playing, singing. Could I have some more, please?”
- Will Jennings, multi Oscar and Grammy winning songwriter
“Kenny has taken his vast amount of energy for spotlighting others and has turned that light on his own heart this time. The CD, ‘Uninvited Guest,’ is the technical culmination of many fruitful years as composer, songwriter, studio musician, and producer, and the emotional culmination of some less successful journeys, brought to you here in crystalline detail.
Associated with some extremely successful CDs and films, Kenny has now found both the desire and clarity to undertake this work of his own. It blueprints a need to find joy under contentment, strength under fear, and does so with humor, perspective, and precision. Each of these stones that is turned over reveals a new gift that is as infectious as it is compelling.
‘Uninvited Guest’ is a work of heart and soul to which anyone, in a small or huge way, can relate.”
- Sid Arthur, (’a swami’s guide to the universe’)
“!@#$%!&*?#!”
- Cheryl Wheeler
“…especially about the band’s pianist, Kenny White, who unleashed a couple of solos that were about as enlivening as anything heard on the pop front this year.”
- John Rockwell, NY Times
“…Kenny White, who plays like a man possessed, transfering all his energies into his keys, keeping him safe off the streets and behind the Steinway.”
- Frank Rizzo, New Haven Journal Courier
“Not many artists have the capacity to be melodic, intelligent and direct all at the same time. Kenny is one of the few. He has clearly been steeped in music and self-inflicted torture for so long that he is able to combine haunting melody with acid poetry and still almost effortlessly say exactly what’s on his mind. For all its darkness, this is a joyful record. The musicianship and arrangements produce a passion and energy that is uplifting. And Kenny’s voice is so sweet and vulnerable that you’ll forgive him anything.”
- Jonathan Spottiswoode
“…the piano playing of Kenny White is a marvel in itself…”
- Patrick Taggart, Austin, Texas
“…a provocative ensemble, paced by pianist extraordinaire, Kenny White…”
- Steve Morse, Boston Globe
“…and Kenny White, one of the musical highlights of the evening.”
- Robert Palmer, NY Times
