Coverdale Discography of CDs

Out of print in the U.S. 1993 hard rockin' album that united Whitesnake vocalist David Coverdale with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. 11 tracks including 'Shade My Tree', 'Pride And Joy' and 'Waiting On You'. EMI.

After a planned collaboration with Robert Plant fell through in the early 1990s, Jimmy Page did the next best thing--he hooked up with ex-Whitesnake singer David Coverdale, who's often compared to Plant vocally, for a single album, 1993's COVERDALE/PAGE. As you'd assume, the duo's sound is similar to the mighty Led Zeppelin--bluesy heavy metal dripping with machismo. While many of the highlights are hard rock-based ("Shake My Tree," "Waiting on You," "Pride and Joy"), there are a few slow blues numbers that are just as strong ("Take Me For a Little While," "Over Now"). Although COVERDALE/PAGE caused quite a stir with Zep/classic rock fans worldwide, the duo only played a handful of live dates together in Japan, and split up shortly thereafter when Plant finally agreed to re-join forces with Page (under the name Page/Plant). Recorded at Little Mountain Sound, Vancouver, British Columbia; Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida; Abbey Road Studios, London, England; Highbrow Productions, Hook City, Nevada. Personnel: David Coverdale (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar); Jimmy Page (guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, 12-string guitar, dulcimer, harmonica); John Harris (harmonica); Lester Mendez (keyboards, percussion); Denny Carmassi (drums); John ...

Fronted by former Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, the British hard-rock act Whitesnake released records in the late 1970s and early '80s, but the band went largely unnoticed by American audiences until '84's SLIDE IT IN and its follow-up, '87's massively successful self-titled album. This 18-track compilation draws primarily from those outings (and '89's SLIP OF THE TONGUE, which featured guitar virtuoso Steve Vai), including the stomping fan-favorite "Slow an' Easy" and the group's trio of huge hits--the romantic power ballad "Is This Love," the surging anthem "Here I Go Again," and the fierce mini-epic "In the Still of the Night." Also notable is the inclusion of "Pride and Joy," ...

While compilations can fall short in any number of ways, Whitesnake's Gold assemblage is exactly what was needed in putting together the very best tracks from a band that never really could go the distance on its albums. David Coverdale and company were one of those bands from the late '70s through the end of '80s that issued hot-selling singles and gained massive radio and video airplay -- but whose albums (and some of them were hits) were always marred by filler. Gold collects 33 cuts over two CDs and delivers a powerhouse best-of that charts Whitesnake's entire run for Geffen circa 1978-1989. Virtually anything a fan ever wanted is ...
