At a rough guesstimate Bernie Marsden s name appears on a hundred albums maybe more. In addition to a long-running solo career the Buckinghamshire-born guitarist has been a recording musician since the early 1970s via membership of such groups as Whitesnake, UFO, Wild Turkey, Babe Ruth, Paice Ashton & Lord, Cozy Powell s Hammer, Alaska, M3 and many more. Though there s a tendency to pigeonhole him as a blues-rock guitarist, each of Marsden s acts had its own individual flavor.Although Marsden was wary of flooding the credits with too many special guests, Shine does feature some extremely well-known names, from Joe Bonamassa to Whitesnake singer David Coverdale and the Deep Purple duo of Ian Paice (drums) and Don Airey (keyboards). Jimmy Copley of Jeff Beck fame behind the kit and Mark Feltham of Nine Below Zero also supplies some breathtaking harmonica playing. I can t help it, I ve got a lot of mates and quite a few of them are guitar players , Bernie laughs.
