Here they do again! Whitesnake has been rattling their tale for over 40 years now, but David Coverdale’s crooning and shaking is still as strong as ever, as evidenced by Flesh & Blood. With two mighty guitar slingers at his side, Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra, and rounded out by keyboardist Michele Luppi, drummer Tommy Aldridge, and the underrated bassist Michael Devin; Flesh & Blood is 13 tracks full of fun rompers and of course those bluesy odes and hymns stylized by Coverdale’s lyrics of love and getting it on with the ladies! 2019 or 1987; it doesn’t matter as the Snake proves it’s still relevant with this fantastic record!

Scribe Mark Gromen opined in his review: “Got into Whitesnake before the teased hair and fancy outfits, when they were denim wearing, hard rock from the UK and have always preferred that edition of a band now celebrating 40 years of existence. Slide guitar opener ‘Good To See You Again’ seems destined to kick off the upcoming concerts, with its lively beat and ‘Good evening kings & queens’ lyric. The sustained, slide riffing is the dominate feature, and as such, comes closer to the pre-MTV version of Mr. Coverdale's band.

“Like most discs with 13 tracks, a few less would have made an even stronger impact. That said, for a man creeping up on 70, Flesh & Blood is a strong album, able to rock, without becoming a maudlin caricature of past lives.”
