Editorial Review: : Whitesnake was the band formed by vocalist David Coverdale after his acrimonious departure from Deep Purple. Intended as a vehicle for his own brand of bluesy vox-heavy rock (the first album was a set of ballads), the project quickly grew to include the gargantuan keyboards and pyrotechnic percussion of Deep Purple's Jon Lord and Ian Paice, the sound becoming fuller, the lyrics more overtly predatory. Love Hunter, recorded before Paice's arrival, was immediately notorious for a sleeve featuring a buxom woman sitting lasciviously astride an enormous snake. It also revealed Coverdale, who was often dismissed as a mere sexist rocker, to be a master of various forms--dirty, dark-hearted rock ("Mean Business"), incorrigibly sensual R&B ("Rock'n'Roll Women"), and slow, impassioned and soulful anthems ("Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues"). Leading to 10 years of unremitting success, Love Hunter was Whitesnake's purest offering. --Dominic Wills Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Prelude to the breakthroughAfter two solo albums, David Coverdale assembled a band of substantial talent and experience that would prove impossible to ignore. Jon Lord's keyboard work in particular promotes a sweeping, expansive sound for the early stages of 'Love Hunter'. The album is a triumph for style rather than substance, as the material is good but not great. 'Long Way From Home' is something of a surprise opening. It's hardly rock and roll in nature, more like one of those pop/rock songs designed to appeal to a mass market. Though quite striking, it's no 'Since You Been Gone'. 'Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues' and 'Help Me Thro' The Day' are much more substantial, slow burners given atmosphere by background organ. The quality thereafter is variable. ... Read More: Rating: - A solid rock record"Lovehunter" opens with the groovy blues-rock of "Long Way From Home", and the classic, swaggering "Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues" - perhaps David Coverdale's best composition, and certainly one of his best and most mature lyrics. Other highlights include the foot-stomping "Rock 'N' Roll Women", which is precisely as clichéd as it sounds, and the supremely funky title track, which features some fiery slide guitar from Mickey Moody. And "You 'N' Me" is a pretty solid rocker as well. There are a few too many mediocre songs for "Lovehunter" to be a great album, but it's still a pretty good one. A fine purchase for fans of Whitesnake's earlier material...and good enough for some 3½ stars. Rating: - Whitesnake on the verge of the big time!!I love this album, it has got so many great things about it, the only thing it lacks is Ian Paice on the drums, but the drummer (one Duck Dowel) makes a very good noise on the round chair. There are several highlights on this album, the first just has to be the sleeve, beautiful art work that sets the tone for this, and many more Whitesnake albums to come. The album then opens with what I belive to be its best track. Long Way From Home, just oozes class, great tune and fantastic words, also serves as a reminder that David Coverdale was not only blessed with one (if not the) greatest rock/blues voices ever, but he was also a very capable songwriter, this song also shows that you can sing about your love for a woman without mentioning things like loveguns, ... Read More: Rating: - Music for Men!Only kiddin' as this is for anyone with a sense of humour. A lot of filler but even the dross is funny with the lyric sheet in hand. And the surprising thing is that I once met a girl who could recite the words to Lovehunter. Talk about love! Rating: - Classic Whitesnake - just look at the cover!Although not the definitive Whitesnake album (Ian Paice still hadn't joined) it is a much more coherent album than it's predecessor 'Trouble'. It does show what this line-up was capable of with classics such as 'Walking in the Shadow of the Blues' and the title-track itself set to become Whitesnake standards for years to come. |
