Free Music Notes for Ready an' WillingFree Music Review: Blues vs Hair
It is quite entertaining to read the reviews of this album and the other Whitesnake albums. The blues version of Whitesnake and the hairspray/flashy version of the band controversy is hilarious. I am an old school blues rock fan so the blues version of the band appeals to me more. Ready an' Willing was the first Whitesnake album I was turned on to while attending school in Evansville, Indiana where I frequently visited Roberts Stadium to see the blues rock bands of the day. I always thought the connection with Deep Purple was cool and their sound has that connection especially with Ian Paice on drums and Jon Lord on keyboards. One of the earlier reviews mentioned he thought the music had space with not much going on. This is the problem I have with the later hairspray version is that after corporations took over music in the mid eighties, the bands started to loose the blues component of rock and roll which did have space. Space is good! Space is what lets the music breathe and give it some soul and groove. Playing a lead guitar solo in every song as fast as humanly possible is boring to me because it has little soul in it. The early version of Whitesnake was mostly based around rhythm guitar not bombastic lead guitar, saying look at me and how fast I can play. Without the blues component to rock and roll what is it? It leaves me cold without the blues. The guys who started listening to Whitesnake in their hair metal mid 80s days, using the term metal loosely, reminds me of the old joke about the two bulls. One bull was a young hyper bull talking to the old experienced bull. The young bull was jumping up and down, restlessly, shouting as they looked down upon the group of cows in the valley and said "I'm gonna RUN down there and do one of those cows". The old bull said "screw that, you're gonna stay here and I'm gonna WALK down there and do em all". The old bulls know whats happening! It's a shame that music has evolved into a corporate thing with no soul. You young guys need to discover the roots of rock and roll. Check out John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, early J Geils Band before the freeze frame crap, 70s ZZ Top, 60s and 70s Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Ten Years After, Robin Trower, Frank Marino, Jeff Beck, Johnny Winter and the bands who are carrying on the tradition, The Black Crowes, The Raconteurs, The Bottle Rockets, Gov't Mule, Drive By Truckers, etc. They know about space! Music with no space is like a when you take color wheel with all of the colors of the spectrum and put it on a drill and pull the trigger on the drill. The color wheel goes real fast but turns white, no separate colors, just white. No space , no color!
