{"product_id":"whitesnake-flesh-blood-cd-1","title":"Whitesnake - Flesh \u0026 Blood (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFresh off celebrating their 40th anniversary, rock legends Whitesnake return with their latest studio album, “Flesh \u0026amp; Blood”. This album follows the 2011 critically acclaimed studio album “Forevermore” and 2015’s “The Purple Album”, a reimagining of Deep Purple classics from Whitesnake mastermind’s David Coverdale’s time in that band. The 13 original, visceral tracks on “Flesh \u0026amp; Blood”, the band’s 13th studio album, are, luckily for you dear reader, “all killer, no filler”, as the saying goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut would you expect anything less from the ’Snakes?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince joining the band four years ago, and just in time for the aforementioned “The Purple Album”, Chicago native Joel Hoekstra has really come into his own, not only as a highly impressive axe-slinger, but also as a very accomplished songwriter too, co-writing six of the songs for “Flesh \u0026amp; Blood” with singer David Coverdale. Of course Joel’s talents are hardly surprising, considering he’s the son of two classical musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuitarist Reb Beach, who originally joined Whitesnake in 2002, has stepped up to become the group’s bandleader and guides the band to implement Coverdale’s musical vision. As well as bringing his impressive musical chops to the band, Reb has co-written five songs on the new album, the fourth studio album he has appeared on, commencing with 2008’s highly acclaimed “Good To Be Bad”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was the  “Good To Be Bad” follow up, “Forevermore” (2011), that saw the debut of bassist Michael Devin. The New Englander’s four-string-depth-charge-bass-bombs definitively underpin and drive the sound of Whitesnake in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRounding out the rhythm section is David’s longest serving ’Snake, the renowned drummer and unstoppable percussionist Tommy Aldridge, who has been with Whitesnake in some capacity for 30 years. Tommy made his debut with Whitesnake way back in 1987 in the ‘Still Of The Night’ video, becoming a mainstay behind the kit for successive albums and tours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast, but certainly not least, the band is completed by the inventive keyboards and vocals of Italian maestro Michele Luppi, who made his live debut in 2015, as documented on “The Purple Tour” live CD\/DVD (2018).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe current incarnation of the band carries on the long and unwavering tradition of mainman David Coverdale being surrounded by cream of the crop players who go all in to bring fans the best hard rock humanly possible. 40+ years into their existence, the ‘Snakes fangs have only grown sharper and are ready to inject fans with more of that rock ‘n roll venom they crave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Flesh \u0026amp; Blood” STREET DATE: May 10, 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLINEUP:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Coverdale: Vocals\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReb Beach: Guitars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoel Hoekstra: Guitars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Devin: Bass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTommy Aldridge: Drums\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichele Luppi: Keyboards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood to See You Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gonna Be Alright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shut Up ; Kiss Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hey You (You Make Me Rock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Always ; Forever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When I Think of You (Color Me Blue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trouble Is Your Middle Name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Flesh ; Blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Well I Never\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Of Stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Get Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e After All\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sands of Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can't Do Right for Doing Wrong (Bonus Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If I Can't Have You (Bonus Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e DVD Contents:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gonna Be Alright (X-Tendo Mix) - DVD Audio Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sands of Time (Radio Mix) - DVD Audio Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shut Up and Kiss Me (Video Mix) - DVD Audio Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shut Up and Kiss Me (Classic Jag Version) - Video\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shut Up and Kiss Me (Club Mix) - Video\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Scenes of Flesh ; Blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50446147911954,"sku":"8024391095041","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3655522.jpg?v=1729705592","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/whitesnake-flesh-blood-cd-1","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
