Coverdale Page Album Download [BEST]

Everything about the album feels rooted in the blues genre (indeed, the songs demonstrate a nifty concoction of harmonica and guitar), but the production is airier than the design Page used in the 1970s, allowing the instruments to breathe through the mix. The album is refreshingly shorn of the instrumental flourishes of the latter-day Zeppelin albums, but Coverdale found himself defending his role as anything bigger than a Robert Plant fill-in.

Rather than press forward, the guitarist opted for a step backwards and reunited with Robert Plant for a stroll through their shared catalogue. It was followed by Walking into Clarksdale, a negligible album that was as derivative as Coverdale-Page was refreshingly free from cliche.

Though the union only lasted for one album and a short run of tour dates, Coverdale revealed in recent years that there were at least four unreleased tracks he wanted to finish. Additionally, he suggested that both he and Page could prepare fresh mixes of the album.

In the meantime, Coverdale continues to revisit his catalog, with Whitesnake's 2008 album Good to Be Bad currently under the microscope. A forthcoming four-CD/Blu-ray box set titled Still Good to Be Bad will present a fresh remix of the album, plus session outtakes, demos and new recordings. The collection will be available on April 28.

"The other thing that I recommended to him was, 'Let's remaster the original, but I'd love you, in England, with a mixer of your choice, to do the Jimmy Page mix of the album, and I'll do the David Coverdale mix as bonus stuff,'" he continued. "And I think that'd be great. He trusts me, I trust him, and I think it would be great for the fans to get Jimmy's take on it, 'cause we did everything 50/50 on the project. It was an amazing three years together. I loved it. So, yeah, that's definitely in the pipeline."

No Side One or Side Two for this review as I have the CD version. The album version is harder to find and quite expensive. Maybe they will do a re-issue someday soon (or a box set wit demos and a live show as has been hinted in the press over the last year or two).

The project officially began with some low grade recordings by the Coverdale-Page duo in 1991. The album tracks for the eponymous album were then recorded in several studios on both sides of the Atlantic over the winter of 1991/92. However, the album itself was delayed in post production for over a year until it was finally released in March 1993.

Despite alt-rock dominating the charts and radio at the time, Coverdale/Page initially sold strongly, peaking at #4 in the UK and #5 in the US and eventually going platinum. But the album did soon fade from view, a proposed tour was axed, and the partnership quickly dissolved after this one album. In the end, Coverdale re-formed Whitesnake and Page finally joined up Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant in 1994 for a couple of new albums in the mid 1990s.

Speaking to Antihero Magazine last year, Coverdale confirmed plans to release an expanded version of the album in 2023 and said he has struck a deal with Universal to purchase the rights to the album.

Every week, Album of the Week Club listens to and discusses the album in question, votes on how good it is, and publishes our findings, with the aim of giving people reliable reviews and the wider rock community the chance to contribute.

Bill Griffin: This is the best post-Zeppelin album of Page's career mainly because he was writing music and arranging it the way he wanted to instead of trying not to sound like that band. Much better than either Firm album and Walking Into Clarksdale.

Jimmy Page sure seemed to think so. I never really cared for the "billionaire bluesman" that Page had become with the Firm and his solo Outrider album. But in Coverdale he has found his best partner since, well... you know who. He reaches so deep into his Zeppelin bag of magic that you would think he still has Zoso embroidered on his pants leg.

If the album has a weakness, it's the power ballads. Take Me For A Little While and Take A Look Yourself both have a strong whiff of late 80s Whitesnake but the former works for me while the latter doesn't. Don't Leave Me This Way almost works as an epic but takes too long to get to the climactic payoff.

On the whole, the album stands the test of time pretty well. The production is great. Although, it does have a bit much of that 90s chorus effect clean guitar thing going on, which I find a bit jarring after a while.

Uli Hassinger: My memories of this album were that it was quite a disappointment considering that two of the greatest rock musicians of all time worked together. My memories have not deceived me. I still think the record is boring after listening to it again after a long time.

In my opinion Coverdale at his best was the greatest rock singer of all time. What he did on the Purple and early Whitesnake albums is still the benchmark for all singers. Best example is Live In The Heart Of The City. His vocals go from smooth to bluesy to screaming hard. His range was unrivalled. His performance on this record is not bad at all but he can't achieve what he was able to sing previously. Furthermore he tries to sing like Plant on several songs which doesn't suit him.

I even don't think that the guitar playing is remarkable. But the main thing which the album misses is good songwriting. The songs aren't really bad but not more than average. There is not one song which stands out. Beside that the songs are overlong which make the album quite a stretch. Remembering that both Coverdale and Plant have proven in the past that they are brilliant songwriters this record is miserable. They would probably had difficulties to find a label releasing it without the big names.

If that wasn't enough the production is lousy. Especially the guitar sound is crap. I not even get what thy want to express with all the pictures with the traffic sign positioned in different landscapes. The sleeve is boring too. So my rating of this album is only 4/10.

Marco LG: I bought this album when it came out, mainly because of my love for the voice of David Coverdale. I was a fan of all things Whitesnake, the early albums and even more so the chart topping 1987 and Slip Of The Tongue. I still had not listened to Led Zeppelin but I was very much aware of who Jimi Page was, and of course I was also in love with the solo albums by Robert Plant, at least those released from 1988 onwards. With that in mind, my opinion at the time was that Coverdale/Page was a great album. I thought the performance of David Coverdale was masterful and the guitar solos were just spectacular.

In short: this collaboration between Coverdale and Page is fuelled by nostalgia more than anything else, it contains a few sparks of genius but also a few pointless throwbacks. Like many albums of the 90s it is a tad too long, and ultimately overstays its welcome long enough to tire the listener. 6 out of 10 from me.

This is an excellent hard rock album. Neither Page or Cov are at the very top of their game here, either performance-wise or in the songwriting stakes but, let's be honest, slightly below par from these two is still miles better than most of the rest. The album still attracts plenty of 'it sounds too much like Zeppelin ' comments just as it did at the time of release. Well no shit Sherlock. Wonder why that is. And let's be straight. There is no such thing as too much Led Zep and 1993 wasn't exactly awash with genuine top class hard rock, so Coverdale/Page was a welcome oasis in a desert of dreariness. It also heralded the well documented and amusing spat between dear old David and the man he, for a short time, tried very hard to imitate, Percy's 'David Coverversion' jibe being countered with ' I wouldn't send him cat food if he were starving'. Now, now boys.

I've always really liked the feel of this album. There is nothing here that you would ever call a classic but at the same time there is nothing you could truly call duff. Opener Shake My Tree is excellent, it's core riff apparently derived from something Page discarded when working on In Through The Out Door ( and subsequently also during his days with The Firm). The closing two tracks Absolution Blues and Whisper A Prayer For The Dying are also standouts, although my personal favourite is the up-beat Easy Does It, which has some neat work from the Denny Carmassi/Jorge Casas rhythm section.

Matthew Joseph Hughes: This one has a handful of great songs, and some maybe not so memorable. Of course it's not Led Zeppelin, but it's not exactly Whitesnake either. I enjoy this more than No Quarter or Walking Into Clarksdale, and more than most Whitesnake stuff. I think of this as David's best album, his finest vocals - Plant called him David Coverband at the time right? Plant hadn't quite found the groove he got into with Mighty Rearranger, Raising Sand, Band Of Joy etc. so maybe he was a little jealous of David's vocals working so well with Page. No disrespect to Plant. I'd take Plants recent solo work over any of this... but it's still worth several listens. It's pretty solid.

Paul De Maria Maas: A very enjoyable album with some top tunes. Nothing groundbreaking but it has aged well. Jimmy and David made a great combo and both sounded very energised, especially Jimmy. 2351a5e196
