Ready An' Willing [Remastered] - Whitesnake

Advantages: Contains a vast diversity of music from David Coverdale's post Deep Purple carrier
Disadvantages: Nothing, unless you hate Whitesnake (and if you did you wouldn't be reading this)

...Whitesnakes 30th Anniversary Collection appears to be a glorified greatest hit album. However it's more than this. Its 52 tracks contain live tracks, the original version of Here I Go Again, songs from David Coverdale's (DC's) album with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and of course songs from DC's solo work. The three CD's cover the carrier of DC after he left Deep Purple. The first disc with tracks like Ready An' Willing and Fool For Your Loving (live) brings Whitesnakes blues element through to the listener beautifully. I would say the first disc is best of Whitesnakes blues. The second CD contains the Coverdale Page songs as well as more live songs and a collection of Whitesnake hits. The third CD contains the song Best Years from Whitesnakes latest album and We Wish You Well the song Whitesnake wrote for their audiences but have... Read review

Disadvantages: -

....... 7. Ready An' Waiting I found this song quite boring for some reason. It is a flat song , good lyrics , but it didn't impress me as much as the other songs... It is also a shorter song compared to the others. It is 3 minutes and 43 seconds long..... Overall , this song would get a 4/10. I feel that this song is sang well and the lyrics are good , but it can get very boring and may sound a little dissapointing to the rest of the Whitesnake tracks.... 8. Guilty Of Love This is a good song. I always listen to this song when i am in a good mood , because it matches my happy mood , as the track is very cheery and quircky. It is another fast song , but not as heavy in the rock genre department. My favourite part of this fantastic song is... " Don't You Walk Away Don't You Turn Your Back On Me" This part... Read review

Advantages: Good time rock'n'roll with a large drop of blues added for good measure
Disadvantages: Very samey with lyrics that are sometimes hideous

...Whitesnake, for those not in the know, are a rock band formed in the seventies from the splintered remains of Deep Purple.  Ritchie Blackmore had already departed the sinking ship and had formed 'Rainbow', Ian Gillan, who had quit many moons before the band croaked, had begun 'Gillan' (sometimes it makes you wonder where they get the names for these bands from!) and so David Coverdale, libido in hand, packed his bags and set up camp under the banner of Whitesnake.  And yes, the name does refer to his….shall we say, manhood? The 'Purps', following their long, protracted illness eventually succumbed to the inevitable and gave up on their will to live and gave birth to the band, or frontman to be more precise, that would in turn launch the much-lauded 'cock rock'; a phrase relating to the amount of sexual innuendo and suggestive come...
