Live In The Shadow Of The Blues (2CD)

by: Whitesnake

Release Date November 27, 2006
This latest Whitesnake release grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go... from the opening riffs of Bad Boys to the last notes of Take Me With You. The album builds to a crescendo with Fool for Your Loving, Here I Go Again and Still of the Night... these are the definite climax! And just when you think it's over, you get a second CD with more live tunes (a sort of 7-song encore!) And that's not all... the album culminates with 4 brand new studio tracks. The Coverdale-Aldrich collaboration is truly an inspired one. The tracks are reminiscent of "classic rock" but with a fresh, modern twist, which Aldrich brings to the table. There are some really great and original guitar sounds there! This album has it all... so cherish the past, embrace the ... Read More:

Good to Be Bad [VINYL]

by: Whitesnake

Release Date August 04, 2008
It's strange to see how split opinions are on this album but I'm sure David Coverdale would rather elicit strong views either way than just have everyone say "Yes, it's okay I suppose".

Personally I wasn't overly impressed when I first played it. In fact I was very disappointed. However, as Whitesnake played such an important role in my musical development I persevered for a couple more listens and boy am I glad I did. While it is not perfect, it is still a very strong addition to the catalogue. I'd advise those of you who binned it earlier to revisit it and you might just realise that you made a mistake.

Snakebite [Us Import]

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" and "Only ... Read More:

Come An' Get It

by: Whitesnake

Release Date July 11, 1994
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 of the album tends ... Read More:

Live In The Shadow Of The Blues (2CD)

by: Whitesnake

Release Date November 27, 2006
I am an old Whitesnake fan from the beginning and I had kind of left off the band when Vandenbergh left. I picked this album on a whim and man was I amazed. The band reinvigorates old classics like Walking in the Shadow, Don't break my heart again etc. I think it is due to David - always in top form, does not age - and especially Doug Aldrich who made me forget the goold old Moody-Marsden days. This album is a must have for all Whitesnake fans even those who like me made a pass on their most recent stuff.

Live in the Heart of the City

by: Whitesnake

Release Date July 11, 1994
I never was a great fan of Whitesnake's studio output but this live recording is something else! My vinyl copy of this was worn out from endless playing many years ago so I was very happy to pick up a CD copy of the album. Although the years have passed the music has lost none of it's appeal and once again I am playing it to death!

So what sets this apart from Whitesnake's studio recordings? For me it is the incredible intensity and power of the music. Coverdale's voice has always been strong and combined with the rawer guitar sound of the live recording it somehow seems to grow in emotional intensity.

The album has an authentic Blues feel to it and in my mind there really is not a weak track. 'Fool for your loving' is given a new lease of life by freeing ... Read More:

Ready An' Willing

by: Whitesnake

Release Date July 11, 1994
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 this a cut above previous Whitesnake albums, ... Read More:
