[3] A collection of re-recorded songs from Coverdale's time in Deep Purple, the idea sprang from talks he and Jon Lord had about a possible Mark III reunion a few years earlier.
After Lord's death in 2012, Coverdale discussed the idea with Ritchie Blackmore, but they were unable to come to an agreement on the nature of the undertaking.
Originally, the idea was acclaimed by Coverdale's wife, Cindy, "who suggested I (David) consider it as a Whitesnake project" in late 2013.
Dave Everley for Classic Rock gave it a 1/5 review arguing that it is "not hard to love the 13 songs here – it's impossible", although "let's be clear here.
Whitesnake are one of the great British bands of the past 40 years, and Coverdale is one of the finest blue-eyed soul singers, full-stop" but "this wrong-headed travesty of an album won't just have Jon Lord spinning in his grave, it'll have Ritchie Blackmore making like a Catherine Wheel too".
