Come an' Get It

by: Whitesnake

Release Date January 29, 2008
Whitesnake albums tend to be a mixture of spirituality and debauchery. This album is dominated by the latter and 'Wine, Women And Song' might just as easily have made a fitting title track. It's also a frustrating album, consistently close to greatness yet almost always falling short. Essentially, the Whitesnake of 1981, when this was released, were a fine band, a team personified by their star frontman and owner, David Coverdale. But the tracks are mostly either blighted by average content or a sluggish performance.

The strutting menace of 'Don't Break My Heart Again' is the highlight of the album. 'Would I Lie To You' is another major asset, its sexual mischief being more representative of the album's lyrical content. The rest ... Read More:

Snakebite [CASSETTE]

by: Whitesnake

Release Date March 19, 1996
Reviewer: anders_pj from Korsør, Denmark
This early part-Whitesnake, part David Coverdale solo-release is a solid mixture of rock and blues, much less flashy than Whitesnake's late-eighties pop metal outings, and with a lot more groove.

It is not Whitesnake's most remarkable album, and it is not an absolutely necessary purchase for Whitesnake fans, either, especially since the two best songs ("Come On" and "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City") can both be found in excellent versions on "Live...In The Heart Of The City".

But that's not to say the rest isn't worth a listen. There is nothing here to rival the original versions of "Love Hunter", "Here I Go Again" or "Fool For Your Loving", but songs like "Bloody Mary" ... Read More:

Ready An' Willing

by: Whitesnake

Release Date January 29, 2008
I first bought this album when it came out on vinyl, and though I haven't had a record player for over ten years, and have probably not listened to the album for over fifteen years I could still sing along with "Fool For Your Loving" faultlessly.

It's a strong opening track, full of blues/rock swagger and leads into an album that is at once marvellous and cringe-making. It's fair to say that David Coverdale is not a thoughtful sensitive lyricist, and it is the lyrics that really haven't stood the test of time. They lean towards the mysogynistic, and focus on women doing wrong, being Lolita's and making him bleed.

Notwithstanding the clunking lyrics, musically it is a rocking album, and the Jon Lord and Ian Paice input makes ... Read More:

Ready An' Willing

by: Whitesnake

Release Date October 08, 2007
This classic album was recorded seven years before Whitesnake broke through in America, having changed their sound from hard, bluesy rock n' roll to big-haired pop metal, so the version of "Fool For Your Loving" that kicks off "Ready An' Willing" is the original gritty rocker, not the slick, keyboard-laden and slightly evil one from the 1989 MTV video.

Back in 1980 original Whitesnake guitarists Bernie Marsden and Mick Moody played big, bluesy guitar riffs and short, sparse solos, Coverdale didn't yet bleach his hair, and the music was raw and powerful, more Deep Purple than pop metal and poodle-rock.
Indeed, "Ready an' Willing" goes from highlight to highlight:
"Fool For Your Loving", the hard-rocking "Sweet Talker", the superbly ... Read More:

Saints & Sinners [CASSETTE]

by: Whitesnake

Release Date October 17, 1990
I much prefer Whitesnake's bluesy late seventies/early eighties efforts to their later pop metal sheen, and "Saints & Sinners" is one of the handful of Whitesnake records that truly deliver the goods.

The combination of former Deep Purple frontman David Coverdale's enormously wide-ranging sandpaper voice and guitarists Mel Galley and Mickey Moody is superb on raw blues-rock numbers like "Victim Of Love" and the classic "Crying In The Rain", as well as on power ballads like "Here I Go Again" (the original version, not the re-recorded pop metal version from the "1987" album).

There is barely a weak track on this fine album - "Love An' Affection" and "Rock An' Roll Angels" are both irrestistable, sing-along barroom boogie, equal parts ... Read More:
