…Twice Shy by Great White
…Twice Shy is an album by Great White, released in 1989. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 50 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Once Bitten Twice Shy”, on 47 lists with a best position of #111.
...Twice Shy, Great White's fourth studio album, came out on Capitol in 1989 and gave the Los Angeles band the biggest hits of their career. Their swaggering, bluesy cover of Ian Hunter's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" climbed to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "The Angel Song" made the top 30. It was the first album with bassist Tony Montana, alongside singer Jack Russell and guitarist Mark Kendall.
Under the glam metal gloss there's some real hurt: "House of Broken Love" grew out of the painful breakups Russell and Kendall had just been through, and it plays like a slow-burning bar-room lament. "Mista Bone" and "Move It" keep the party rolling, and the album was certified double platinum by September 1989.
