Come an' Get It

by: Whitesnake

Release Date October 25, 1990
You remember "Whitesnake" right? The guys that made such a huge splash in the hair metal world with their self-titled album featuring tunes like "Here I Go Again", "Is This Love" and "Still of the Night"? Few folks familiar with that album may know that "Whitesnake" had been putting out disks regularly for a decade by the time they discovered spandex and hairspray. "Come an' Get It" was their 5th album and their Deep Purple roots are still showing. "Come an' Get It" is full of great bluesy late 70's type rock tunes.
David Coverdale has a great voice for rock n' roll, and it's put to it's most effective use on "Come an' Get It". The title track is great, "Child of Babylon" and "Girl" show his range and power. He's got the type of seasoned ... Read More:

Saints & Sinners

by: Whitesnake

Release Date March 19, 2007
I think Amazon needs to pay me some dividends!! When this first came out Amazon was listing this for a price of between $35 and $45. I had to go elsewhere to get it for the price it was really worth. Now after paying $25 elsewhere, Amazon lists it for less than $15. What a rip off!!

Ready An' Willing

by: Whitesnake

Release Date May 15, 2006
Whitesnake has two main era/styles - the shredding, flashy, hair metal group (with a revolving lineup) that got them famous in America at the end of the 80's, and the blues based (sometimes hard-) rock of the late 70's, early 80's, with a relatively steady band. The earlier days can be even more broken down between the first couple albums, with Duck Dowle on drums, and the more riffy hard-rock of the Ian Paice albums. This one kind of bridges that gap. There's a lot of heavily grooving blues-rock goin' on here, some fantastic singing from David Coverdale (whose rich voice here was quite the opposite of his later, screaming, Robert Plant-inspired style), and a couple nice acoustic and ballady tracks. I might point out that I don't generally like ... Read More:

Live... In the Shadow of the Blues

by: Whitesnake

Release Date December 04, 2006
Received this in Australia from Amazon supplier Import CD's within 2 weeks of ordering. Fantastic service. Coverdale still rocks as good as he used to. The band he has put together are real pros. Concert mix is a little heavy on the bass sound. The 4 new songs are circa 1987 Whitesnake.

Good to Be Bad

by: Whitesnake

Release Date April 22, 2008
Most old bands from the 80's and beyond eventually end up missing the time in their life when they were rock stars. So they get back together and slop together some crappy tracks and capitilize on you buying it with the hopes that it would sound ANYTHING like their old stuff...which it doesn't. However, this is NOT one of those cases. Whitesnake (now made up of David Coverdale and 4 other all-star guns for hire) have come out with a stellar attempt to appeal to the current rock scene WITHOUT sacrificing their signature style and sound. In fact, as one other reviewer mentioned, it sounds as though they listened to the entire Whitesnake catalog before making this album to make sure this album fit in just as nicely.

"Call On Me" is a the standout ... Read More:

Slide It In

by: Whitesnake

Release Date January 01, 2004
I bought the U.S. version of this first, so I'm obviously more partial to that one. This U.K. version was the first one to be recorded and has Micky Moody instead of guitarist John Sykes, and some bassist by the name of Colin instead of original Whitesnake member Neil Murray. The songs are in a completely different order, starting out with the atmospheric hard rocker " Gambler " instead of the title track, which actually comes next.

The difference in the mixes are immediately noticeable...the U.S. version has the guitars and drums louder in the mix, while Jon Lord's keyboards and Colin's bass are more prominent on the U.K. version. There is also a noticeable difference in some of the backing vocals. As I stated earlier, I prefer the U.S. one, probably ... Read More:
