WHITESNAKE Frontman Putting Finishing Touches On New Live Album

22 September 2006

WHITESNAKE will release a new double live album, "Live ... In the Shadow of the Blues", in November 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". WHITESNAKE's David 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.

In a posting on the band's official web site, Coverdale has offered the following update on the upcoming live CD: "Doug [Aldrich, guitar] just came up from L.A. today for a few days to finish off the mixes with me. We are sooo busy here at Snakebyte Studios. I feel we'll be fine to reach our deadline to release the CD on time in Europe, and we had a day full of meetings [on Tuesday, Sept. 19] to try and sort out what we can do to get the project to the rest of the world."
