Whitesnake

Whitesnake, the English rock band, transitioned from blues-rock origins to an MTV-friendly commercial powerhouse, achieving multi-platinum success and global recognition. After releasing their debut album ‘Trouble’ in 1978 and quickly building a strong presence in the UK, Europe, and Japan with subsequent Top 10 UK Albums Chart releases, Whitesnake went on to achieve multi-platinum success and global recognition, notably with their self-titled album ‘1987’. Their early sound established a blues-rock foundation, solidified by the 1978 ‘Snakebite’ EP, which featured the enduring live staple ‘Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City.’ The band continued its early ascent with albums like ‘Ready an’ Willing’ (1980) reaching number six on the UK Albums Chart, the live album ‘Live… in the Heart of the City’ (1980) hitting number five, ‘Come an’ Get It’ (1981) peaking at number two, and ‘Saints & Sinners’ (1982) reaching number nine in the UK.

Their most recent studio album, ‘Flesh & Blood’, was released in 2019, receiving critical acclaim. In 2022, Round Hill Music acquired Whitesnake’s extensive music catalog, acknowledging the band’s significant and lasting impact on rock music.
