Coverdale buys rights to Whitesnake and Northwinds
Another Swedish magazine — Rock’n’Roll — has a 6-page David Coverdale and Whitesnake feature in issue #4, 2019. In the interview David said that he recently has bought the rights for his two first solo albums Whitesnake and Northwinds from the now defunct Deep Purple’s management companies. He also mentioned that his favourite Whitesnake albums are
- Ready An’ Willing
- Come An’ Get It
- Good To Be Bad
- Forevermore
- the upcoming Flesh and Blood
Thanks to our editor emeritus Benny Holmström for the info.

Some of old covs best work. Both contain great songs and his voice back then was excellent

May 2nd, 2019 at 21:19@1 Totally agree: I reckon Northwinds is his best work post-Purple. Soulful, bluesy, just excellent.
May 3rd, 2019 at 10:59Coverdale had nothing to do with Highway Star. Was written well before he was even a thought for Deep Purple

May 5th, 2019 at 00:28Indeed. I treasure those albums to this day. Great work. I just wished he went on with this kinda stuff, soulful songs, piano, brass, female background singers that suit his voice so well – very enjoyable.
May 6th, 2019 at 12:48Very good albums……He sings better then alot of those soulful blacker’s do.
May 7th, 2019 at 14:15Poor Coverdale, having to sing every night mainly songs from albums he doesn’t rate. When was the last time he played anything off Come An’ get It?
May 8th, 2019 at 20:22These albums, in particular David Coverdale’s Whitesnake pull Whitesnake’s knickers down and spanks the living daylight out of Trouble before greasing up to kill Lovehunter. Take your snake and listen to the Coverdale vocals . Thank you
