ISBN: 9780957570085.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Sail Away: Whitesnakes Fantastic Voyage – the first ever full biography of the band – top music writer Martin Popoff tells the tale of rock legend David Coverdale, from his Deep Purple roots to the two distinct incarnations of his mega-popular creation.\n\nWhitesnake began life as a UK-based blues rock outfit, until the lad from England’s chilly east coast departed for America’s sunny west coast in search of fame, fortune, big videos and even bigger hair. Coverdale found them all, and 1987’s self-titled album went 8 x platinum in the US alone before their bright star waned in the face of grimy grunge.\n\nIn this book – his 45th – Popoff interviewed the major players, including Coverdale himself, to piece together the band’s roller-coaster history. He follows their story through the hirings and firings, the splits and reunions and the image changes to paint an affectionate yet realistic picture of one of the giants of rock.\n\nIf you remember great tracks such as \"Here I Go Again,\" \"Fool For Your Loving,\" \"Still Of The Night,\" \"Slow An Easy,\" \"Crying In The Rain,\" \"Aint No Love In The Heart Of The City,\" or “Love Aint No Stranger,” then this book is essential reading.\n\nThe Sail Away refers to how Coverdale re-invented himself by sailing away to Americas West Coast and making himself right at home. He loves it, and America loves him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soundcheck Books Llp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966584778805,"sku":"ByrdShop_0957570082","price":225.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780957570085_63f11422-80ed-4660-808f-f5abbdd7acc4.jpg?v=1781398808","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sail-away-whitesnakes-fantastic-voyage-9780957570085","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
