n Walking in the Shadow ofthe Blues: The Whitesnake Story—the first ever
full biography of the band—top music writer Martin Popoff tells the tale
of rock legend DavidCoverdale, from his Deep Purple roots to the two
distinct incarnations of hismega-popular creation. Whitesnakebegan
life as a UK-based blues rock outfit, until the lad from England’s
chillyeast 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’sself-titled album went eight times platinum in the
US alone before the band’sbright star waned in the face of grimy grunge.
In this book—Popoffconducted 30 interviews of major characters,
including Coverdale himself, topiece together the band’s roller-coaster
history. He follows their storythrough the hirings and firings, the
splits and reunions and the image changeswhich have enabled Coverdale,
through his Whitesnake vehicle, to positionhimself firmly within the
pantheon of hard rock greats. If you’verocked out to anthems like
“Here I Go Again,” “Fool For Your Loving,” “Still OfThe Night” or “Slow
An’ Easy,” this is essential reading.
