Description

Official US tape. Clear cassette with white texture Snakebite barely qualifies as a Whitesnake album. Vocalist David Coverdale had just assembled the band, and in fact, half of the songs contained here had been recorded by the singer nearly a year before for an abandoned solo outing. With this in mind, one can understand why most of the cuts either suffer from a lack of creative direction, the players' limited musical interaction, or both. Of the tracks credited to Whitesnake the band, the best results are achieved on the rollicking "Come On" and the bluesy "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City," the latter eventually being their first hit. And while more cohesive amongst themselves, the Coverdale solo tracks will hardly interest any but the most die-hard fanatics. Track listing: 1. Come On 2. Bloody Mary 3. Ain't No Love In the Heart Of The City 4. Steal Away 5. Keep On Giving Me Love 6. Queen Of Hearts 7. Only My Soul 8. Breakdown
