Snakecharmer - Snakecharmer: Anthology

4CD box set collecting together British hard rock supergroup Snakecharmer's two studio albums as well as two live shows. With newly remastered studio albums by Tony Dixon. Formed in 2013 by former members of Whitesnake, Wishbone Ash, and Thunder. Featuring a veritable who's-who of classic hard rock: Vocalist Chris Ousey (Heartland), guitarist Laurie Wisefield (Wishbone Ash), drummer Harry James (Thunder), keyboardist Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne) and guitarist Micky Moody (Whitesnake). Given the band's pedigree, it was inevitable that the music would sound like good-time, classic melodic hard rock with a blues edge, their eponymous debut was released in 2013 by Frontiers. The response from fans and critics alike was rapturous, and the band toured to wide acclaim. In 2015, Moody left the band, replaced by young Irish-born virtuoso Simon McBride. Snakecharmer's follow up album, 'Second Skin', arrived in 2017. This set is completer by two recordings from shows at Milton Keynes which show the band at work in a live environment, and it comes with booklet notes by Classic Rock's Dave Ling talking to the band about their career.
