Love Songs (2020 Remix) (Album of the Day)
Whitesnake brings together some of the most-passionate music of its multi-platinum career on LOVE SONGS, a new collection that contains remixed and remastered versions of the group’s best love songs. The second release in the band’s “Red, White and Blues Trilogy,” the new collection includes a mix of hits and deep tracks that were originally released between 1987 and 2011 on five Whitesnake studio albums and David Coverdale’s third solo album, Into the LIGHT. “Pretty much all the songs I write are love songs in some way, shape or form,” notes band founder Coverdale. “Not all are ballads. Some are out-and-out rockers with powerful romantic themes … and of course … include heavy breathing in all of them!” Among the 15 tracks on LOVE SONGS are such Whitesnake favorites as “Is This Love,” “The Deeper The Love” and “Now You’re Gone.”
THE PURPLE TOUR (LIVE) (Album of the Day)
David Coverdale handled lead vocal duties for Deep Purple on three of the British band's albums before forming his own group, Whitesnake, in 1978. The ties between the two bands were reinforced in 2015 with the release of THE PURPLE ALBUM, which offered fans modern interpretations of DP classics like “Burn” and “Mistreated.” The new concert collection THE PURPLE TOUR (LIVE) presents highlights from the supporting tour, with scorching versions of Purple favorites including “You Fool No One,” “The Gypsy” and “Soldier Of Fortune” alongside such Whitesnake hits as “Here I Go Again.” “Each member of the band brought their incredible individual talents and a real band identity to this music,” noted Coverdale of Whitesnake's take on mid-'70s Deep Purple, and THE PURPLE TOUR (LIVE) enriches the legacy of both hard rock legends.
Slide it In (Ultimate Edition) (Album of the Day)
Whitesnake scored its first platinum-selling album in 1984 with SLIDE IT IN, a release that has sold more than six million copies worldwide thanks to hard-rocking songs like "Love Ain't No Stranger," "Slow An' Easy" and the title track. The album turns 35 this year and in honor of the anniversary, a 6-CD/1-DVD version has just been released. The Ultimate Special Edition includes newly remastered versions of both the U.K. and U.S. mixes of the album plus unreleased live and studio recordings, music videos, concert footage and a new interview with Whitesnake founder and frontman David Coverdale. As the singer notes, "SLIDE IT IN was always meant to be a structured, more electric modern take on the classic blues-based hard rock that Whitesnake were famous for, but our new Hook City Hooligan, Mixer Extraordinaire Christopher Collier, has hand-tooled this classic record for the 21st century."
Live At Donington (Album of the Day)
Released more than two decades after it was recorded, Whitesnake's LIVE AT DONINGTON 1990 was worth the wait. The concert collection captures the heavy metal band's headlining gig at the Monsters of Rock festival at England's Castle Donington on August 18, 1990, and the crowd-pleasing performance is packed with hits from the group's multi-platinum catalog. Steve Vai joins Whitesnake here, and the guitar hero is in fine form on such favorites as “Slide it In,” “Is This Love,” “Still of the Night” and “Here I Go Again.” Band founder and frontman David Coverdale produced this 2-CD/1-DVD release, providing superior sound to the much-bootlegged show, and we'll fire up LIVE AT DONINGTON 1990 now to wish the man a happy birthday.
The Rock Album (Album of the Day)
Whitesnake brings together some of the hardest-hitting tracks of its multi-platinum career on THE ROCK ALBUM, a new collection that features revisited, remixed and remastered versions of the group’s best rock songs. The first release in the band’s “Red, White and Blues Trilogy” of compilations organized by musical themes, the set spans more than three decades with songs originally released between 1984 and 2011 on six Whitesnake studio albums (plus a track from founder David Coverdale’s 2000 solo album). Among the many highlights are “Love Ain’t No Stranger,” “Still Of The Night” and the #1 smash “Here I Go Again.” THE ROCK ALBUM also features such rarities as an alternate arrangement of “Tell Me How” and the debut of “Always The Same,” a previously unreleased song that was recorded last year.
The Blues Album (Album of the Day)
Whitesnake celebrates the blues sound that helped inspire its multi-platinum career on a new collection that features remixed and remastered versions of the group’s best blues-rock songs. THE BLUES ALBUM is the third and final release in the band’s Red, White and Blues Trilogy, a series of compilations organized by musical themes that began this year with Love Songs (red) and The Rock Album (white). “'Blues' to me is a beautiful word that describes emotional expression,” notes band founder David Coverdale, “be it feelings of sadness, loneliness, emptiness … but also those that express great joy, celebration and dance, sexiness and love!” Now available, THE BLUES ALBUM delivers a potent mix of hits and deep tracks that originally appeared between 1984 and 2011 on six Whitesnake studio albums and Coverdale’s solo album, INTO THE LIGHT.
