WHITESNAKE Frontman To Begin Work On New CD, Compile Anniversary Edition Of '1987' Album

October 16, 2006

WHITESNAKE frontman David Coverdale has issued the following update on the band's current activities:

"We have LOTS of 'irons in the fire’ right now, and all important. I feel it's time to address the future and know the past will ultimately take care of itself.

"I'm coming into London for the Classic Rock Awards, with fingers crossed, and a few days promo for the new [live] album, then home for a week, back to Europe for a concentrated couple of weeks doing promotoion for the release of 'Live... In The Shadow Of The Blues', then starting 'properly' on the new studio record. Also, compiling the 20th Anniversary Special Edition of the WHITESNAKE '1987' album."

WHITESNAKE's new double live album, "Live ... In the Shadow of the Blues", was mastered in Los Angeles last week for a November release via Steamhammer/SPV. The set includes almost all the remarkable hits from WHITESNAKE's career, as well as two timeless DEEP PURPLE classics in "Burn" and "Stormbringer". Coverdale was the frontman of the legendary British act between 1973 and 1976, making a significant contribution to numerous PURPLE highlights during this era. "Live ... In the Shadow of the Blues" also includes four previously unreleased tracks in "Ready to Rock", "If You Want Me (I'll Come Running)", "All I Want Is You" and "Dog", eagerly awaited by all WHITESNAKE fans. The strictly limited version of the double album will be available in a top-quality digipack, featuring a number of surprises, among them the bonus track "Crying in the Rain", including a haunting drum solo by drum legend Tommy Aldridge.
