Whitesnake – Love Songs – Double Album Review
6th November 2020Part 2 of the Whitesnake White, Red and Blue trilogy is upon us with the Red album, Love Songs.
I’m not fan of the softer side of Whitesnake but these 2020 remixes are very good. Plenty of bottom end now gives them a much needed punch. The vocals have some interesting nuances that have been added (especially in the guitar department). The vocal track for instance makes DC sound more alive.
I was sceptical and thought that this would be a bit of a cash grab and that’s the impression you get from just looking at it.. Its not until you give it a listen do you realize that this is a whole new take on the classics. There are enough differences for even the discernable listener to discover.
The 3 unreleased tracks are a nice addition. With All My Heart, Yours For The Asking and Let’s Talk It Over from the David Coverdale solo album Into The Light writing sessions make an overdue appearance. They’re just great tracks.
Score 8/10
