The Rivers O

An English hard rock institution formed by former Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale, Whitesnake debuted in the late 1970s with style steeped in British blues-rock bands like Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin and, of course, Deep Purple. Whitesnake weathered the assault of grunge and alternative rock for as long as they could, but finally ceased operations in the early ' the 90s.

The band's 1987 self-titled debut album was their most commercially successful worldwide, and contained two major US hits, 'Here I Go Again' and 'Is This Love', reaching number one and two on the Billboard Hot 100. The album went 8 times platinum in the US, and the band's success saw them nominated for the 1988 Brit Award for Best British Group. The 1978 EP Snakebite featured a brooding cover version of Bobby 'Blue' Bland's 'Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City,' which became the first hit of the newly minted band. Coverdale teamed up with Vandenberg for a solo effort in 1997 and released Restless Heart under the Whitesnake moniker. He had taken the band into hibernation by the end of 1997, where it would remain for the next five years. In 2006, the band signed a contract with Steamhammer / SPV Records and released a double live LP, Live: In the Shadow of the Blues, with an all-new studio album, Good to be Bad, two years later. It was followed in early 2019 by the band's 13th long-player, Flesh & Blood.
