Description
by Popoff (Author)
In Walking in the Shadow of the Blues: The Whitesnake Story-the first ever full biography of the band-top music writer Martin Popoff tells the tale of rock legend David Coverdale, from his Deep Purple roots to the two distinct incarnations of his mega-popular creation.
Whitesnake began life as a UK-based blues rock outfit, until the lad from England's chilly east coast transported the act to America's sunny west coast in search of fame, fortune, big videos and even bigger hair. Coverdale found them all, and 1987's self-titled album went eight times platinum in the US alone before the band's bright star waned in the face of grimy grunge.
In this book-Popoff conducted 30 interviews of major characters, including Coverdale himself, to piece together the band's roller-coaster history. He follows their story through the hirings and firings, the splits and reunions and the image changes which have enabled Coverdale, through his Whitesnake vehicle, to position himself firmly within the pantheon of hard rock greats.
If you've rocked out to anthems like "Here I Go Again," "Fool For Your Loving," "Still Of The Night" or "Slow An' Easy," this is essential reading.
Yes, for the job at hand, Popoff interviewed (and many of them multiple times), David Coverdale, Bernie Marsden, Neil Murray, Micky Moody, Adrian Vandenberg, Steve Vai, John Kalodner, Doug Aldrich, Keith Olsen, Ian Paice and many others, to deliver his usual album by chapter, with every song touched upon. So, what are you waiting for... Come An' Get It!
