Good To Be Bad

Performer: Whitesnake
Engineer: Mike Tacci
Distributor: n/a

Notes: Initial pressings of GOOD TO BE BAD included a bonus disc containing 7 live tracks and a video. Issued more than a decade after Whitesnake's previous studio outing, 2008's GOOD TO BE BAD finds frontman David Coverdale leading a band of new hard-rock recruits. Easily one of the heaviest albums recorded by the blooze-leaning British act, the album benefits from Coverdale's well-weathered vocals and the twin guitar work of Doug Aldrich (Dio) and Reb Beach (Winger, Dokken), as evinced on the fierce opener, "Best Years."

Kerrang (Magazine) (p.50) - "[T]his thing breathes fire all the way. Adding the spirit of their blues-inspired origins to the hormonal pyrotechnics of their commercial peak..." Record Collector (magazine) (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Coverdale's vocals are pitched over sweet harmonies to good effect on 'Summer Rain,' while 'Got What You Need' ups the fret factor."

Former Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale formed the hard-rock/metal outfit Whitesnake in 1978. While the band's macho rock sound and "what's-wrong-with-being-sexy?" sexist aesthetic garnered them a respectable amount of commercial success in the U.K. and Europe, the band didn't hit big in the U.S. until the release of their 1987 self-titled album. Anchored by the fist-pumping single "Here I Go Again," the album sold millions and forever solidified Whitesnake's place in hair-metal lore.
