Free Music Review: One Of Whitesnake's Best!
Hit: 5 Stars
Between the period of December '79 and February '80, the definite line-up of the group (David Coverdale on vocals, Brenie Marsden/Mocky Moody on guitars, Neil Murray on bass, Jon Lord on keyboards, and Ian Paice on drums) gathered at Ridge Farm, Central Recorders Studio with producer Martin Birch and recorded ten amazing compositions that continue with their trademark R&B/hard rock style with juvenile lyrics. The arrival of Paice on the drum kit gave the group the tight drumming that they needed! The previous drummer Dowle was more of a jazz-fusion player. This is one of their best albums for sure!
The original version of "Fool For Your Loving" (written by Coverdale/Moody/Marsden) launches the album, a song that Coverdale would later re-record in 1989 for the "Slip Of The Tongue" LP but this is the superior version with an excellent solo from Marsden! And so it continues with many highlights of bluesy hard rock. "Sweet Talker" has a catchy, harmonized intro riff, the title track (written by all members except for Marsden) shows the good backing vocals of Moody/Marsden, stomping bass lines from Murray, and Paice's tight drumming while the ballads "Carry Your Load" and the remake from Coverdale's first solo album "Blindman" showcases the powerful singing from Coverdale. Listen carefully to the first ballad I mentioned...You'll notice that some of the notes used in its pre-chorus are similar to an older song that Coverdale wrote with bassist Glenn Hughes: "Holy Man" from Deep Purple's "Stormbringer" album!
Completing the set is the acoustic zeppelinesque number "Ain't Gonna Cry No More" with some killer slide guitar from Moody after the drums come in and the pure blues-rock of "Love Man". Last but not least, in "Black And Blue" Lord delivers some cool classic rock and roll piano and the up-tempo "She's A Woman" is a high key exit with great moog synth work from Lord playing a descending pattern that sounds like the music from one of those old video games!
If you are into bluesy hard rock, check out this great album, one of their best if not THE BEST!
Thanks for taking the time to read!
Later...
