From the Deep Purple ║ │ │║ and early Whitesnake played by older relatives ║ │ │║ to his bombastic reappearance in1987 with a new ║ │ │║ line-up, versions of Crying In The Rain and Here ║ │ │║ I Go Again (from 1982Æs Saints and Sinners), new ║ │ │║ hair and Tawny Kitaen in the music videos. It ║ │ │║ was earth shattering in my pre-teens. When Slip ║ │ │║ of The Tongue (featuring ex-Zappa and David Lee ║ │ │║ Roth) æstunt-guitaristÆ Steve Vai launched with ║ │ │║ even more flamboyant style, I was delighted. My ║ │ │║ cassette, personally recorded from BBC radio ║ │ │║ live from Donnington (1990) was a treasured ║ │ │║ possession. His work with Jimmy Page and the ║ │ │║ live performances were tremendous, hawking back ║ │ │║ to a bluesier, more organic vibe before ║ │ │║ returning with WhitesnakeÆs Restless Heart in ║ │ │║ 1997 which was intended to be a solo album. The ║ │ │║ touring did not end and Good To Be Bad (2008) ║ │ │║ was a triumph with a superb lineup. Forevermore ║ │ │║ didnÆt quite tick all the boxes for me ║ │ │║ personally, but after their 40th anniversary ║ │ │║ tour they are back with Flesh & Blood. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The marvellous Reb Beach is still on board and ║ │ │║ is regarded as bandleader and has co-written ║ │ │║ five tracks, but Joel Hoekstra (who joined for ║ │ │║ The Purple Album, the Deep Purple collection) ║ │ │║ co-wrote six numbers with Coverdale. The legend ║ │ │║ that is Tommy Aldridge is miraculously still on ║ │ │║ drums as the longest serving member of the ║ │ │║ myriad line-up changes of the greatest rock ║ │ │║ musicians available to quite possibly still the ║ │ │║ greatest voice in rock. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Good To See You Again opens with a classically ║ │ │║ sounding Whitesnake riff, itÆs good to hear you ║ │ │║ again! Upbeat, engaging, somewhat sleazy, bluesy ║ │ │║ with that unmistakable voice. ItÆs a great kick ║ │ │║ off. Gonna Be Alright and I have faith; the ║ │ │║ guitar has a hint of 90Æs Seattle grunge style, ║ │ │║ but not overtly so- giving an unique flavor to ║ │ │║ somewhat melancholic number with an euphoric ║ │ │║ melody that transitions into a mantra of ║ │ │║ positivity. Valentines Day, 2019 saw the release ║ │ │║ of lead single Shut Up & Kiss Me with its ║ │ │║ somewhat tongue in cheek video and sound ║ │ │║ reminiscent of those 80Æs chart-busting glory ║ │ │║ years. If you have been hibernating under a ║ │ │║ non-rock, rock and need some upbeat hard edged ║ │ │║ party rock and roll to get your weekend/ ║ │ │║ motivation started then you canÆt go wrong with ║ │ │║ this.

If you have been hibernating under a ║ │ │║ non-rock, rock and need some upbeat hard edged ║ │ │║ party rock and roll to get your weekend/ ║ │ │║ motivation started then you canÆt go wrong with ║ │ │║ this. Believe me when I say itÆs a growerà ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Hey You (You Make Me Rock) was released last ║ │ │║ month and is a heavier, sleazier beast of a ║ │ │║ track with hints of ædesert rockÆ or old school ║ │ │║ AIC crossed with (dare I say it, Def Leppard!) A ║ │ │║ little suggestive of the reimagined 87 version ║ │ │║ of Crying In The Rain in its emotiveness. It is ║ │ │║ a quality number and delivered expertly. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Always & Forever has an even deeper old school ║ │ │║ feel (Slide It In era), itÆs unexpected and a ║ │ │║ delicious delight. Feelgood, with a hint of ║ │ │║ cheesiness, without being over the top. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ When I Think Of You (Color Me Blue) commences ║ │ │║ with a 70Æs bluesy riff (slightly reminiscent of ║ │ │║ Mott The Hoople) which is sweet, without being ║ │ │║ saccharine for a slower tempo ballad. Lighters ║ │ │║ aloft and listen closely for those sighs (from ║ │ │║ the Cov and adoring female masses!) ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Trouble Is Your Middle Name sirens wail and a ║ │ │║ delightfully raunchy, bluesy guitar introduce a ║ │ │║ pumping blowout of a song. The guitar solos are ║ │ │║ simply magical and certain to get you smiling! ║ │ │║ (If you care as much as I do, here you go: Reb ║ │ │║ BeachÆs solo: 1:38-1:55; Joel Hoekstra solo: ║ │ │║ 1:56-2:25; RebÆs outro solo: 3:35-4:07. With ║ │ │║ thanks to Hoekstra for posting!) The title ║ │ │║ track, Flesh & Blood is a mid paced stomper, ║ │ │║ simple enough lyrically for even the most ║ │ │║ cider-sodden festival reveller to chorus (I look ║ │ │║ forward to joining the horde!) ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Well I Never brings us back to the down and ║ │ │║ dirty, with the primal percussive throb of ║ │ │║ Aldridge driving the party. Heart Of Stone drops ║ │ │║ the pace for a darkly moving ballad. Get Up ups ║ │ │║ the pace and gets the party in full swing, the ║ │ │║ harmonised backing vocals somehow add a ║ │ │║ different dimension. After All starts with a ║ │ │║ delightful classical guitar and is gloriously ║ │ │║ pared back and gentle in its almost folk rock ║ │ │║ style. The vocal work is sublime. Sands Of Time ║ │ │║ closes the album in majestic Whitesnake style ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ This is a spectacular return to form, this could ║ │ │║ have easily followed Slip Of The Tongue. The ║ │ │║ production is wonderful and the music is great. ║ │ │║ This is unashamedly and unmistakably Whitesnake. ║ │ │║ The perfect antidote to the grimness of reality. ║ │ │║ Grab onto Flesh & Blood with both hands and ║ │ │║ enjoy the ride ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Good To See You Again [03:43] │ │ 02 - Gonna Be Alright [03:52] │ │ 03 - Shut Up & Kiss Me [03:37] │ │ 04 - Hey You (You Make Me Rock) [05:30] │ │ 05 - Always & Forever [03:53] │ │ 06 - When I Think Of You (Color Me Blue) [03:53] │ │ 07 - Trouble Is Your Middle Name [04:17] │ │ 08 - Flesh & Blood [05:18] │ │ 09 - Well I Never [04:01] │ │ 10 - Heart Of Stone [06:43] │ │ 11 - Get Up [04:46] │ │ 12 - After All [03:47] │ │ 13 - Sands Of Time [06:10] │ │ 14 - After All (Unzipped Mix) (Bonus Track) [03:46] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [63:16 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
