The birth of the snake

"David Coverdale's first effort after Deep Purple reveals his affection for Blues, Rythm and Blues, ballads and Hard Rock.
Some songs might take a while to be completly accepted such as Goldies Place or Peace lovin' man, true r'n'b/soul tracks, others like Whitesnake or Lady could have been recorded during the Stormbringer sessions.
Two major and irresistable ballads- Blindman and Hole in the sky-contrast with the fun-spirited Celebration or Time on My side.All that together forms a cool steady very optimistic album.
Extra bonus: Simon Philips on the drums and Roger Glover at the production.Slowly the snake is crawling...beware of the Snakebite!"

"Despite weak production efforts, this album made clear that David had the capacity to go on his own after Deep Purple. It has the bluesy feel all over it, it has master drummer Simon Phillips, along with Micky Moody, which would follow DAvid for a long period of time. I enjoy the album, even considering its flaws."
