WHITESNAKE Vinilo y CD

Review: David Coverdale's Into the Light marked their return after a three-year hiatus, and his first true solo album since 1978's Northwind. Released in 2000 and now titled a Whitesnake release, the album is Coverdale stepping away at the time and to rediscover himself musically. Collaborating with a talented lineup of musicians, including Earl Slick and Doug Bossi, Into the Light ventures beyond the original Whitesnake sound, incorporating blues, acoustic melodies and Zeppelin-esque elements. The album opens with the instrumental 'Into the Light', signaling a fresh start, followed by the blues-heavy 'River Song', a nod to Coverdale's Deep Purple roots. Tracks like 'She Give Me' echo his collaboration with Jimmy Page, though they sometimes fall short of a satisfying climax. The album's melodies and guitar work stand out, offering a mix of mindless fun and occasional gems that fans of Coverdale's career will appreciate.
