Whitesnake “The Purple Album”

I’ll admit to having a David Coverdale obsession. From Deep Purple to his solo albums to his many Whitesnake albums, he is definitely one of my favourite musicians to ever perform a note.

2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees

Different people hold different opinions on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I hear and understand all of these opinions, both the optimistic ones (such as how it’s such a prestigious honour) to the pessimistic ones (like how it doesn’t really mean anything and it’s arbitrary etc).

For those who don’t know, after years of hanging around the music business with several incarnations of his

Black Star Riders “All Hell Breaks Loose”

originally posted on Saturday, 15 June 2013 Thin Lizzy were among the top rock acts in their prime in the mid/late 70’s. Nowadays they are really just remembered for their song The Boys Are Back In Town and the odd person should also know the songJailbreak, but there was a time, particularly in the UK where when people
