David Coverdale and Whitesnake

Here comes another year for the 38th birthday music initiative of @backinblackdevil - the year I cover is 1987!

Having grown up in 1970ies to 80ies I was a huge fan of this so called Mainstream Rock Style mainly from the US. I listened and bought these records before I dived into the likes of Metal and Techno - I still love it though. So Today we are listening to a Hard Rock (would not say Metal) Band from the UK with a charismatic singer that also used to sing for Deep Purple. I talk about the one and only David Coverdale - the Voice and Head of Whitesnake!

About the Band and why 1987?

Formed in 1978 Whitesnake reached Cult status in the 80ies for their rock epic sounds! The band is originally from England - even I do think they sound more American. David Coverdale was the founder after his departure from Deep Purple and he took Jon Lord with him who is still a hero when it comes to Keyboard Sounds in Rock! Unfortunately he is not amongst us anymore - RIP Jon! Their main album success was "Whitesnake" from 1987 which made them a chart breaker finally in the US.

Whitesnake is one my all time favorite bands. After being in Deep Purple's Mark III, Coverdale really found his way with the White Snake. All the albums until 'Slip Of The Tongue' have great songs, but maybe '1987' was the one that took them to the stardom.
In 2014 I had the chance to book Bernie Marsden Band for Calella Rockfest. Bernie Marsden was Whitesnake's former guitarist and did a perfect duo with Micky Moody. Before Bernie's show in Calella, I had the chance to seat down with him and have a nice chat. He is a really nice guy and loves to play music.
