"Don't even try to induce, In all my restrain there's no hesitation
All the signs on the loose 'cause sanity's rare this end of the hard day
Shadows are crawling out of the subway
Any way that you choose in every direction just to confuse me"

A few months ago I became aware of Whitesnake having a history that started way before the mid 80s and I was intrigued. I liked a lot of their tunes during the mid 80s and several years ago I bought a hits cd of theirs and was really impressed with the musicianship of the band for the songs I didn't already know and love. Then, in hearing Coverdale also did some work as the lead singer for Deep Purple for a while I became even more fascinated at how that would work in the Whitesnake setting as I'd argue Deep Purple and Whitesnake are two different animals musically.

I picked this up and got it yesterday:


Basically a collection of their early works and I gotta say, I can hear the Deep Purple influence but the music is less of their mid-80s sound I was familiar with and more of a Deep Purple meets Led Zeppelin kind of vibe. Definitely digging it so far.
